The OXO Tower bar team are very excited to announce the inaugural OXO Tower Bar Meet the Maker event.

Come along on Tuesday 20th March to experience an evening of delectation with Banks 5 Island rum. This fantastic event gives you the chance to learn about this award winning spirit and the first ever blended white rum which is new to the UK, Harvey Nichols and OXO.

OXO have teamed up with Banks 5i ambassador and owner of New York’s highly regarded ‘PDT’ cocktail bar, Jim Meehan and Banks 5i master blender Arnaud de Trabuc to present a special evening of education and entertainment.

Guests will be given a delicious Banks 5i Negroni on arrival, before enjoying a tutored tasting and demonstration of selected OXO and PDT signature cocktails made with Banks 5i rum, as well as a sampling of other Banks rum expressions and some tasty OXO bar bites.

Banks 5 Island is named after the celebrated 18th century explorer Joseph Banks and is the first of its kind. Made from 21 rums, by six distilleries, a across five islands (Jamaica, Trinidad, Guyana, Barbados and Java) you won’t find another rum like it. Its smooth and full bodied flavour makes it the perfect choice for cocktails.

The presentation will take place at the OXO Tower Bar from 5:30 to 7:30pm on Tuesday 20th March and is priced at £30 a head. Interest is expected to be high for this first event with limited spaces available, so in order to secure your place for what promises to be a unique evening, please call 020 7803 3888 or email oxo.reservations@harveynichols.com
