Diageo World Class GB has announced its top 10 finalists including Mathew Arnold of Passing Fancies, who will represent Birmingham in the regional finals! I’d love for you to consider featuring this news.
Mathew (who won Diageo World Class GB in 2023) has advanced to the final stage yet again with his cocktail Pillow Talk which combines The Singleton of Dufftown 12yo, Palo Cortado Caramel, Toasted Almond Bitters and Weetos Espuma.
Mathew is in great company in the top 10 with bartenders from across Great Britain, including Leeds, Edinburgh, London and more. In June, the top 10 finalists will be selected to attend a three day immersive event in London or Scotland. Here they will crown one winner to represent Great Britain on the global stage in Toronto in September; once again offering our country’s talented bartenders the opportunity to achieve international acclaim.
Prizes for the overall winner include all-expenses-paid trips to Toronto and New York City; VIP entry to two of the best sporting events in the country; VIP entry to two coveted music events; and a two-year talent representation with Global Bartending.
