London Cocktail Week is celebrating Bourbon City, as Louisville showcases its famed cocktail and bourbon scene at the ten-day long event hosted across England’s capital.

 

Between 3–13 October, numerous bars and venues in London are taking part in the festival, giving attendees the opportunity to taste a world-class collection of cocktails using Kentucky bourbon.

 

Launched in 2010, London Cocktail Week is the world’s original cocktail week, and provides a great way to discover not only the London bar scene, but also the destinations that produce so many world-renowned drinks and beloved cocktails.

 

On Tuesday 8 October, Shoreditch’s Discount Suit Company basement bar collaborated with Angel’s Envy bourbon. Guests had the opportunity to sample exclusive cocktails from the Louisville-based brand for the night, including Discount’s signature London Cocktail Week serve, Tall Handsome Stranger. There was also a DJ set from Kitty Liv — one third of Kitty, Daisy & Lewis. 

 

Earlier this week, on 3 October, London Bridge’s Amazing Grace bar played host to a selection of delicious bourbon-based cocktails, including Louisville Ruby Manhattan (using Angel’s Envy Finished Port Bourbon), Old Fashioned (using Woodford Reserve) and Broken Dreams Avenue (with Rabbit Hole bourbon).

Bourbon City is also offering the opportunity for a lucky entrant and a plus one to win a holiday for two to Louisville, to experience a taste of its bourbon culture. The prize includes return economy flights from London to Kentucky, plus four nights in boutique hotel accommodation and a selection of bourbon distillery tours.
