Bowmore Cocktail Competition

ACQTASTE was recently invited to attend the 1st Annual Bowmore Cocktail Competition at Parts and Labour in Toronto. With a long list of top notch bartenders competing and a grand prize trip to Scotland, it was sure to be quite a battle. Here are some photos from that night.
