Next Wednesday, the annual Woodford Reserve Old Fashioned Week will return to Australia for a 10 day celebration of the world’s number one classic cocktail – the Old Fashioned.
From Saturday, 5 November to Monday, 14 November, whiskey and food connoisseurs across the nation will be in for a treat as over 200 of the country’s finest bars, including Dean and Nancy on 22 (Sydney, NSW), Bar Margaux (Melbourne, VIC), Lockwood (Gold Coast, QLD), and Chin Chin (Sydney, NSW and Melbourne, VIC) and more, will transform for the festival with an excellent line-up of unique cocktail experiences and prestige food pairings.
Over the 10 day event, Australia’s most innovative and revered bartenders will garnish guests with expert tips for how you can manipulate the four key ingredients – whiskey, sugar, bitters and citrus garnish – to create an entirely different experience with each Old Fashioned.
