"Reàl Infused Syrups have been a bartender’s best friend for nearly 20 years. Using Reàl fruit sourced from around the world, Reàl ensures that every squeeze contains the highest quality product. After the success of their initial flavour in 2006, Coco Reàl, it was clear that there was a need for something more. Mixologists and chefs from around the world desired high-end, shelf-stable, fruit centric syrups. And thus, in 2014, Reàl’s full line of Premium Infused Syrups were born.

Following the Reàl ‘Discover a World of Flavour’ event at Sydney Bar Week, Jenna Hemsworth and Jacob Cohen sat down with Ian Burell, World Rum Ambassador, to chat all things flavour, Reàl, and the future of the rum category."

Online at australianbartender.com.au today: Ticket to Tokyo! The House of Suntory Dojo winners announced!

The Blend crowns Richard Liu and Sanjeev Sharma winners of the House of Suntory DOJO ‘HAKUtini’ Competition.

True to its meaning of ‘a place to master the way’, the House of Suntory’s DOJO has done just that for their two champions of the recent HAKU Vodka Martini Competition.

With members across Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide, the DOJO program is a platform for bartenders to learn about Japanese bartending; not only the skills but also the philosophy behind it. It’s a closed community group, run by The Blend & Suntory Global Spirits.

Back in August, with Ueno-san of Bar High Five hosting a series of technical masterclasses and bar takeovers, DOJO members were briefed on putting their Japanese craft into play with the creation of their twist on the simple, meticulously crafted, Haku Vodka Martini, elevated with their own distinctive and subtle Japanese touch.

Online at australianbartender.com.au today: The Glendronach Raises Expectations With New Era

The Glendronach is set to captivate a new generation of discerning whisky fans with the introduction of an innovative new bottle design and creative direction. Honouring almost 200 years of sherry cask matured whisky expertise.

The new design seamlessly blends tradition and modern luxury, bringing together The Glendronach’s unique single malt combination of robust Highland Spirit and Spanish flair – a nod to the rare Pedro Ximenez and oloroso sherry casks from Andalucia in which the whisky is matured – which merge together to create a sherry crescendo like no other. Importantly, there is no change to the award winning liquids of the 12yo, 15yo and 18yo expressions, with this trio all picking up Double Gold Medals at the latest San Francisco World Spirits Competition in early 2024.

Online at australianbartender.com.au today, check out the full gallery of snaps from last month's Sydney Bar Week!

Sydney Bar Week is all about bringing the Australian Bar industry together for a week of parties, educationals and fun. It’s about celebrating all the hard work that goes into running all the amazing bars and licensed venues around the country. Once again, what makes the events really hum, is that fact that so many of you close your bars and head to Sydney and it’s what makes the week a truly national affair.

So thanks to everyone who showed up, to the sponsors who made the events possible and to everyone who opened the doors to their bars to host an event. What a week!

For the team behind Sydney Bar Week, David & Amy Spanton, this marks their final year as hosts of the event and they couldn’t be more proud of how it all unfolded. Here’s to seeing what happens in 2024… But for now, here is a selection of some of our favourite photos from the events. Stay tuned for the Bar Awards gallery on Monday.
