Thomas Miller Investment held their annual drinks party at The Tickethall, and as is customary for the group – it was once again a party with a difference.
In honour of our American colleagues, a toast to ‘National Vodka Day’, seemed as good an excuse as any for a party.
The Tickethall manager, Steve Quirke, was on hand to provide helpful tasting notes as well as a few interesting ‘titbits’ about the world’s most consumed spirit.
The 80 plus guests were treated to several different Vodka cocktails, including the ‘Vesper Martini’ made famous by James Bond in the 1953 novel Casino Royale and a specially constructed Thomas Miller Investment cocktail.
It was not all play however, as guests’ palettes were put to the test as they were asked to distinguish between Russian, French and Polish Vodkas.
Also on offer was a taste of the locally distilled Manx Vodka, Bifrost which was only launched in September this year and attracted much interest. Bruce Kesterton, Thomas Miller Group CEO, welcomed the guests and thanked them for their continued support. He also presented Chris Allix of Intercontinental Management Limited, the lucky winner of the prize draw, with a Rolling Stones 50th Anniversary, limited edition, Crystal Head Vodka gift pack.
The award winning quadruple-distilled vodka is the brainchild of actor Dan Aykroyd.
