Returning for another year, with a new challenge and an exciting new prize: The Perfect Blend 2020.
The Perfect Blend is back for another year, and you’ve got the chance to win a bartender’s trip of a lifetime with three unique experiences: a VIP tour of our very own Beam Suntory distilleries in Scotland; then experiencing the excitement of London Cocktail Week; and a chance to go behind the scenes of Lyaness, working alongside some of the world’s best bartenders and being inspired by the Lyaness way.

Entries are now open — take a look at this year’s submission brief below.
A TOAST TO…
This year we raise a toast in celebration of the people, places, dates or occasions that mean the most to us.
While the ritual varies across cultures, the act is one unique to humanity. The Perfect Blend invites you to craft the perfect cocktail of celebration!
Using at least one of the award winning brands from the Beam Suntory portfolio*, tell us the story of your toast.
Is your toast to a mentor, an achievement, maybe a new adventure or milestone? Whatever it may be, innovate, create and share with us what it is you’re toasting to.
Who knows, maybe we will end up toasting you…
