AlcoholCarl Brown
Leading the Dishoom group, Brown wowed judges – cocktail legend Tony Conigliaro, drinks historian Anistatia Miller and Diageo’s World Class Bartender Gareth Evans – with his barrel aged cocktails and “pegged” technique of serving the cocktails in two different sizes of bottles. The Indian take on an Old Fashioned inspired by Parsi-Indian Jeejeebhoy also impressed.
