Gin and Juice

Last night the drinks business and Spirits Business teams partied hard with Dre and Snoop Dogg as the global hip hop stars launched their Gin & Juice RTD brand.

The duo, who were launching their RTD into the UK market, held a special roller disco at Flipper’s Roller Boogie Palace in London.

Casa Noble

Jessica Mason attended the unveiling of the new limited launch of Marqués de Casa Noble at Notting Hill’s Viajente87 where the ultra premium Tequila bottle was recreated as an ice statue before being revealed alongside an ice sculpted agave plant. The next day, she also visited the new Velvet Alfresco lounge at Corinthia London which opens this week alongside Campari giving Londoners a hidden terrace away from the capital city where they can walk into a red oasis and be served with antipasti and negronis. She also visited 100 Wardour Street’s celebrations for its Havana Nights launch party with Havana Club where the team served up rum cocktails to a backdrop of Latin DJ beats and Cuban dancing.

Chile

Louis Thomas concluded his tour of Chile this week with visits to the island of Anihue with Montes, as well as visiting Clos Apalta, TerraNoble, Invina and many other producers in recent days.
