Spirited Sermons: Changing Course with Compass Box Whisky

Reverend JW Simpson is delighted to announce the continuation of its incredibly popular series of informative, interactive and innovative Spirited Sermons master-classes. The Reverend will be praising and preaching about some of the world’s oldest and most fascinating spirits, offering delicious new takes on classic recipes before inviting guests to try their hand at shaking them to life.

Hosted by ambassadors and master distillers from carefully selected premium and boutique drink brands, the Winter-Spring series of Spirited Sermons will transport London’s cocktail enthusiasts on a circumnavigation of the globe; from France all the way to Australia and back to Britain’s unique and treasured spirits. Guests will discover some of the most distinctive and creative tastes that the spirit market has to offer.

Throughout the evening, the host will join guests at their table to examine the chosen spirit, offering fascinating facts and amusing anecdotes about its history and production, whilst Rev JW Simpson’s experienced cocktail bartenders demonstrate how to use the spirit’s unique tastes to create beautiful, delicate and delicious concoctions. Guests will then have the opportunity to use their newly learnt skills to shake and stir their own cocktail at the pop up bar.
