Our Customers Say It Best
"Just attended a Whisky evening hosted by Kevin where he held the audience spellbound with his knowledge of Whisky and Swedish Mackmyra Whisky in particular. A very well planned out presentation on six Mackmyra drams also including a Whisky quiz and a lively Q&A to finish. Just don't ask him to sing , he may take you up on it ! -- Slainte"

At that meeting, Kevin made an outstanding presentation to a packed meeting of around 40 members. Kevin is engaging and extremely knowledgeable about the drinks industry and whisky in particular. "A first class industry representative and/or Brand Ambassador". Cannot recommend B&B highly enough".
