Presented by Johnnie Walker
The 11th edition of Diageo Reserve's annual WORLD CLASS competition has returned with the world's best bartending talents ready to compete for the coveted 'Bartender of the Year' title. This year, entrants must submit serves around two themes that highlight their creativity, knowledge and technique. One of which reflects their ability in "Understanding Smoke" using the iconic Scotch whisky brand Johnnie Walker.
Smoke is the cocktail world's most elusive flavour that infuses both visual and taste appeal, but it can also be incredibly difficult to master. Therein lies the challenge. This creative cocktail must include a minimum of 30ml of Johnnie Walker Black Label whisky, match well and complement the smoke in the whisky with a pre-smoked ingredient.
Successful applicants from the first round submissions will compete in a four day cocktail competition from 4-7 July to be crowned the Hong Kong and Macau representative, before heading to Glasgow in Scotland for the World Class global final. But before they get there, we decided to explore (and sample) some of these World Class cocktails and meet the bartenders who created them.
