Ableforth’s will be THE place to head during London Cocktail Week!

The Ableforth’s Tubbery – a brand new concept from Ableforth’s will be THE place to head during London Cocktail Week for Taste Workshops, cocktails, skittles tournaments and all kinds of Tub-based merrymaking.

From Wednesday October 3rd to Saturday October 6th, join Ableforth’s at 133-135 Bethnal Green Road for four evenings of fun and games.

“.. a place where discerning drinkers come together to discover deliciousness in all its forms.”

But, what is a Tubbery?

Well, it’s a fun and flavoursome space inspired by Ableforth’s finest tubs – the Bathtub and the Grog Tub, and a place where discerning drinkers come together to discover deliciousness in all its forms.

After the brilliant time had by all at last year’s Ableforth’s Underground, they’ll once again be popping up – but this time they’re making it an evening “do”, with the Tubbery opening its doors from 5pm to 2am.

Four evenings of fun and games!

Those who want to learn more about gin compounding or rum spicing can take part in a taste workshop and there’ll be Ableforth’s cocktails and all manner of games to be played. Plus, you’ll be bowled over (sorry!) by the Ableforth’s Skittle Alley.

For those who want to be in the know, on Wednesday October 3rd there’ll be a live Twitter feed as the World’s 50 Best Bars are announced, and throughout the week there’ll be competitions too, so keep an eye on the Ableforth’s social media channels for more Tubbery treats.

Discover taste, challenge your friends and celebrate the best of London Cocktail Week with Ableforth’s at The Tubbery – entry is free so head down and join in the festivities!

Ableforths World Drinks Awards 2018 – Rumbullion XO & Bathtub Sloe

Ableforth’s spirit range continues to claim impressive accolades with two more top titles from the World Drinks Awards 2018 given to a pair of Ableforth’s expressions. Rumbullion! XO 15 Years Old has been named World’s Best Spiced Rum, while Bathtub Gin – Sloe Gin has been named World’s Best Gin Liqueur.

An extension of the popular Rumbullion! range introduced in 2014, Rumbullion! XO 15 Years Old is based around a 15 year old Caribbean rum, complemented by Madagascan vanilla, orange, cassia, clove and cardamom.

The World Drinks Awards judges deemed it “Very well balanced”, and highlighted the “…Oak and cloves on the palate with caramel and fruit notes.”

This is the third time that the expression has been named World’s Best Spiced Rum at the World Drinks Awards – previously claiming the title in 2015 and 2017.

Ableforth’s is a multi-award-winning range of craft spirits and liqueurs created without compromise from the very finest ingredients

The whole range had a fantastic showing at the World Drinks Awards 2018, with Rumbullion! Navy-Strength and Rumbullion! Being awarded Gold and Silver medals respectively.

Bathtub Gin – Sloe Gin was introduced to the Bathtub Gin range in 2012, and is made with almost half a pound of sloes per bottle. The World Drinks Awards judges praised the expression, commenting: “Complex start with spice notes on the nose. Bright, powerful and wonderful take on sloe gin. Gentle middle with soft, short finish. Very tasty.”

Prior to winning the World’s Best Gin Liqueur title at the World Drinks Awards 2018, this expression also took home the Liqueur Trophy at the International Spirits Challenge 2015.

For a global brand like Ableforth’s, being recognised as best in class in global competition is incredibly rewarding. Our continued success with these wins is a testament to the brand’s uncompromising dedication to excellence across the entire brand team and throughout our business.

The latest wins follow the news that Ableforth’s Bathtub Gin – Old Tom was named World Best Compound Gin at the World Gin Awards 2018 in February this year.
