Whisky Focus - Diageo Reserve’s GB World Class Bartender Opens Pop Up In New York

Aidan Bowie, Diageo Reserve’s GB World Class Bartender 2016 opens Pop Up in New York City for one evening only.

For one evening only, Aidan Bowie, Diageo Reserve’s GB World Class Bartender of the Year 2016, will partner with Llama Inn in Williamsburg, NYC to open a World Class pop up bar tomorrow 3rd August.

Open for just one evening, Aidan will give the Big Apple an exclusive taste of London’s award-winning Dandelyan bar, where he has been honing his skills as senior bartender since it opened in October 2014. Four bespoke serves will be created by Aidan, using Don Julio Blanco, Tanqueray No. TEN, Bulleit and Ron Zacapa, paired to Llama Inn’s food menu, incorporating the fresh, vibrant Peruvian flavours.

Aidan Bowie commented: "I am so excited to have been given the opportunity to partner with Llama Inn for this exclusive one-night pop up. Since the GB World Class final, I have been doing everything I can to prepare for September’s global final in Miami, including a pretty intense boot camp for all winners from Western Europe. As I was on-route across the pond for Tales of the Cocktail anyway, it was the perfect opportunity to explore cocktail culture and drinking trends in this amazing market – and search out inspiration for my World Class global final serves and challenges."
