For the past three months, Imbibe and DRAMBUIE® have partnered to search for undiscovered bartenders in cities across America. From September through November, bartenders in seven U.S. cities (Portland, Denver, Columbus, Milwaukee, Philadelphia, New York and Austin) have showcased their talents during a series of exclusive competitions and cocktail parties. The quality of the talent in these competitions was amazing, and hundreds of cocktail enthusiasts attended each competition, and even participated by casting votes for their favorite bartenders, along with a panel of industry judges, who evaluated the cocktails on presentation, flavor and creativity. One national winner is now in the process of being selected from among the seven regional winners, and that lucky bartender will be featured on imbibemagazine.com and PursuitOf1745.com and will receive a trip to the 2010 Tales of the Cocktail festival as a DRAMBUIE ambassador.
