Final(ish) List for Smuggler’s Den

We’ll there’s only days to go now and we’ve compiled a tidy little list for you all to sample at Sydney BarShow‘s Smuggler’s Den. On top of this list there are couple more pledged bottles we’re eagerly awaiting to lay our hands on and even a shipment or two still finding their way from customs to the BarShow HQ.

The Den opens from midday on both days of Sydney BarShow with five tastings being held each day. Apart from needing to be registered for BarShow (click here if you haven’t done so already) the Den will cost an additional $10 to enter to try six products. All proceeds will be donated to the Starlight Children’s Foundation so cough up!
