Some more content from our wh**ky training for

100 top-tier bartenders across London, Manchester and Glasgow, brought together for a fully immersive, multi-sensory world.

UK Brand Ambassador .mike delivered a brilliant, hands-on perfume-making workshop surrounded by wild heather while the bartenders deconstructed the wh**ky’s DNA, tracking aroma from process to glass and crafted their own bespoke scents.

Proof that trade education can be sharp, sexy and seriously strategic 🥃

Forget everything you know about wh**ky training.

When @‌highlandparkwh**ky asked us to shake up their trade education, we ditched the standard tasting mats and built a fully immersive, multi-sensory world instead.

The Strategy 👇🏽
The mission was clear: re-introduce Highland Park’s evolving positioning to 100 of the UK’s best bartenders across London, Manchester, and Glasgow. We needed to re-engage brand loyalists and turn the heads of the next generation of bar talent. The only rule? Make it Not Your Usual Training ❌

The Experience 👇🏽
Welcome to Local Legends: Sensory Sessions. We took over three raw, industrial venues and completely transformed them to channel the wild landscape of Orkney. To set the mood, Scottish sound artist Krysia Kordecki mapped the room’s energy to the island’s strata, blending organic field recordings with ambient subgenres that physically shifted the room’s vibe alongside dynamic, color-washed lighting.

At the heart of the takeover, UK Brand Ambassador Michael McLellan delivered a fabulous, hands-on perfume-making workshop. Bartenders deconstructed the wh**ky’s DNA, tracking aroma from process to glass, before crafting their own bespoke scents.

The TDC Delivery 👇🏽
We brought the full agency treatment. End-to-end production, wild heather floral installations, and raw, organic table styling to set the scene. We backed the immersive elements with a menu of next-wave Highland Park cocktails and custom gastronomy pairings designed to elevate the liquid.

The Result 👇🏽
100 top-tier bartenders engaged across 3 key cities. A fresh wave of advocates unlocked. Proof that trade education can be sharp, sexy, and seriously strategic.

We drink differently. 🥃

Whichever stage your window design is at, we bring a decade and counting of expertise to get your product in front of shoppers as seamlessly as possible. Sometimes that means print and badge (though we always recommend a little more flare and personality). Other times, it means building a luxury destination soundscape. We’re here for the light touch and the full lock-in; there are no small windows, just small ideas.

The dark arts of window design can often feel pretty formulaic… A bit of print. Get the badge in. Bish bash bosh, Bob’s your uncle. And frankly, that’s boring.

You’re already competing for consumers’ eyes on the high street, and we at the drink cabinet create designs that don’t just stand out - they pull people in. It’s less about a passing glance and more about a longing look that leads to full-scale commitment.

Great window partnerships can feel like a love affair. They should catch your eye. Make you want to know more. From that split-second sideways glance to crossing the (store) threshold, we work hand in hand with brands every step of the way.

We’re notorious barflys; we can’t help it. Sometimes the best drink is the one you didn’t mix yourself. But over the last few years, we’ve watched some of our favourite bars shutter up. Rising costs, changing consumer habits, it’s got the on-trade feeling more and more like a battle ground. So hos do you support the bars (and brands) you love?

That’s where we come in. Whether it’s bespoke sampling programs that actually convert, staff training that turns bartenders into brand disciples, or high-impact pop-ups that create a destination out of thin air - we provide the extra pair of hands (and the specialist brains) you need to win the night.
