Welcome to The Local Issue, our homage to the people, bars and products that are supporting and celebrating their surrounding areas
We’re highlighting bars around the world teaming up with local farms. Singling out spirits brands who draw on their local surrounds for unique characteristics and flavours. And meet bartenders shining a light on the ingredients produced in their parts of the world.
We look at how foragers and bartenders are working together to create seasonal, sustainable drinks. And raising a glass to neighbourhood bars and the joys of supporting your local.
Our photo feature, ‘Home is where the harvest is’, focuses on five brands championing locality in their bottles and we head to Lima for some of the most inspiring flavour experiences in the world, drop into the reborn Kwānt in London and check out the new menu at Igiea Terrazza Bar in Palermo.
Not to mention where they’re drinking in Edinburgh and eleven local reasons to be a cocktail lover right now.
Plus a whole lot more!
