🗣️ In last year’s edition, we questioned what diversity really means in our industry - with @dondeanomoncrieffe from @equalmeasuresuk joining the conversation from the UK. During the panel, Deano challenged brands and industry competitions to go beyond the buzzwords and to define what diversity, culture, and inclusion truly mean to them. From building strong EDI policies to measuring growth, progression, and success, he emphasised that meaningful change starts with clarity, intention, and accountability. Because without knowing what culture you are trying to foster, how can you know what you’re trying to build? #cocktail #barcelona #barcelonacocktailfest

🔔🥃 RARE AUCTION LOT LIVE 🥃🔔 We are delighted to share that an auction lot of, not one, but TWO rare signed items is currently live on @whisky.auction , and available for bids! This incredibly lot (perfect for a whisky collector or a incredibly unique festive gift) includes: 🌟 A bottle of Johnnie Walker Blue Label Year Of The Snake 2025, signed by the Master Blender Emma Walker. This is bottle number 004590. 🌟A Limited Edition, Signed, Year of the Dragon Print by world-famous artist, James Jean. The auction ends 16th December 2025, with all proceeds going towards Equal Measures UK. 🔗 Auction link in bio 🔗 🙏🏽 This lot was kindly donated by @johnniewalker to raise funds to support marginalised people working in the drinks industry. 🍾 THE BOTTLE Housed in a stunning bottle designed in collaboration with influential visual artist, James Jean, this special edition Johnnie Walker Blue Label provides a vibrant, yet smooth drinking experience mirroring the irridescence of the planet’s most gorgeous reptiles. Expect notes of fruit, spice and smokiness. 🎨THE ARTWORK James Jean is a world-renowned and celebrated contemporary artist and bold cultural pioneer. His hyper-stylized aesthetic floats between dream like fantasies with emotional undertones, he imbues his worlds with multiple references — from traditional Chinese scroll paintings to more modern movements, such as anime and comics. Just as maturing whiskies blossom into life after careful aging in wooden casks, in 2024 the Year of the Wood Dragon helps good fortunes flourish. Re-imagined by James Jean, the evergreen Wood Dragon springs from bountiful flora and fauna, and bursts to life with auspicious ambition. His artwork of the mythical dragon, interwoven and layered with botanical elements, echoes the visceral flavour experience of this exceptional Scotch. #whisky #whiskyauction #rarewhisky #collectible #auction
