Seven Bristol bars are taking part in a cocktail trail celebrating a specific brand of Bourbon. The city is one of three locations across the country taking part in the new initiative called Maker’s Mark Remarkable Neighbourhood.
Along with Manchester and Edinburgh, bars around Bristol will be serving special cocktails inspired by Maker’s Mark ‘Gold Rush’ cocktail, which is made up of honey syrup, lemon and Maker’s Mark bourbon. Created at their distillery in Loretto, Kentucky, the drink is is handcrafted in small batches to produce a "smooth but flavourful bourbon whiskey".
During production they rotate each barrel by hand and hand dip each of their bottles. The bars taking part consist of two in the city centre and five in the Clifton area: Clockwork Rose, Harbour Hub, Bar Humbug, Dirty Bird, Filthy XIII, HMSS and Kibou. Those wanting to head down to the bars during the event will need to book a table at most bars, with just Harbour Hub and Bar Humbug requiring no booking.
