BAROMETER International Bar Show 2016
In Kiev, a grandiose bar festival BAROMETER was held, in which the brands, that are part of the Bayadera Group import portfolio, took part.
Within the framework of BAROMETER, the most prestigious world barmen competition Diageo Reserve World Class was launched. This is a new modern look at the cocktail culture and traditions of drinking alcoholic beverages, a sign of quality for cocktails and bars, designed to attract people's attention to what, where and how they drink. Two World Class ambassadors, Spike Marchant and Kenji Jesse, also arrived in Ukraine and presented the program. Especially for the guests, author's cocktails at the bar were prepared by Eric Lorintz, winner of the World Class 2010 program, bar manager of the American Bar at Savoy hotel in London.
The company Remy Cointreau attended the festival at a decent level. A zone with a glowing innovative bar design with an embedded screen where author's cocktails based on Remy Martin, The Botanist, Cointreau and Bruichladdich were presented, and you could try almost all the positions from the RC portfolio, including the smokiest whiskey in the world - Octomore Scottish Barley. Another specialty was a 3D movie, which was displayed directly on a bottle of Remy Martin XO thanks to a special construction, brought from Europe. The company invited the brand ambassador, Mikhail Kalachev, who delivered a lecture and shared the facts about Mount Gay Rum, The Botanist and Bruichladdich, supplementing the presentation with tasting and food pairing, thereby turning it into a real show without leaving any guest indifferent to the brands presented.
Also the bars of Bushmills and Jose Cuervo were very popular. The Bushmills Bar pleased guests with original cocktails with unusual ingredients. In addition, Nikolai Kiselev, co-owner of the acclaimed bar El Copitas (St. Petersburg), gave a lecture "Follow the rabbits Out with Jose!" and talked about the legendary tequila and its production. He shared his impressions and memories of his stay in Mexico. Furthermore, the bartender performed the tasting of Jose Cuervo. Guests could try all kinds of tequila №1 presented in Ukraine, including such unusual ones as Jose Cuervo Reserva de la Familia Extra Anejo.
Undoubtedly, BAROMETER is a landmark event for the bar culture not only of Ukraine, but also of the Eastern Europe. For two days, the "Parkovy", where the festival was held, received more than 12 thousand guests who drank 27 458 cocktails.
