The competition took place at The
Jugged Hare in London’s Chiswell Street, where the day’s judging was
accompanied by a lively and apt soundtrack of reggae, as the genre of choice
for venue-owner ETM. This year the entries rolled in thick and fast, so in
order to accurately examine each submission our judges were split into two
panels under the charge of chairman Becky Paskin, editor of The Spirits
Business, and co-chairman Adam McCulloch, bar manager at The Cadogan Arms. In
Paskin’s team sat Pepijn Vanden Abeele, bar manager of Coburg Bar at The
Connaught; Georgi Radev, bar manager of Mahiki; and independent rum judge John
Gibbons, while McCulloch’s squad was comprised of rum writer Peter Holland;
Luca Cordiglieri, bar manager at China Tang; Jamie Kimber, bar manager of
Trailer Happiness; and Elliot Ball, co-owner of the Cocktail Trading
Company.
