The week in pictures

This week in the world of drinks: Shannon Tebay of The Savoy’s American Bar creates a Martini trilogy for Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell, Carla Bruni, The Whisky Show returns with record attendance, and The Glen Grant celebrates the launch of its 60-year-old whisky at the Rolls Royce showroom.

Shannon Tebay, who was recently appointed the first American head bartender at the esteemed American Bar inside The Savoy hotel, created a Trilogy of Martinis using Seventy One Gin for a veritable who’s who of A-listers, including Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell, Carla Bruni in honour of Paris Fashion Week.

The Whisky Show 2021 returned between 1-3 October, boasting a record attendance even amid the restraints of the pandemic. The theme of this year’s show was ‘A Journey Through Flavour’, which invited attendees to ” discover terroir by looking at mescal, as well as finishing and maturation from different styles of fortified wines, and the effects of aging in different climates by journeying through the world of rum.”

The Glen Grant has released a very rare 60-year-old whisky (RRP €25,000) to celebrate the 60-year-anniversary of their Master Distiller Dennis Malcolm, the longest serving distiller in the UK. An event was held at the Rolls Royce showroom to launch the very special whisky.
