B&H Handbook: Putting The Y Back In Cyder

Once a fortnight, here at Bourne & Hollingsworth, we invite guests to join us for an evening of spirit tasting and boozy exploration. For the summer series of ‘The Handbook’, we have called upon respected industry experts to enthuse about drinks from the likes of artisan Cyder to Italian Grappa and to introduce inquisitive guests to their unique flavours and fascinating heritage.

The evening will be a caper around the beautiful B&H Buildings: commencing with a welcome aperitif-style cocktail in the bar before venturing upstairs to the brand new B&H Kitchen for an insightful tasting of the host spirit lead by an ambassador from the brand. Guests will then descend into the atmospheric Below & Hidden to try their hand at cocktail making using the spirit of the night.
