The Diageo Reserve World Class Global Final is an annual luxury week where the Diageo Reserve World Class Bartender of the Year is announced. For the first time, Kenya crowned its first winner in Nairobi, on Wednesday.

A benchmark for mixology, the event was conceptualized on the back of a napkin by a couple friends of Luxury Brand Ambassador, Douglas Duncanson, who has been instrumental in bringing World Class to Kenya.

Susan Wong sits down with Duncanson in this week’s episode of Tastemakers to learn more about the man behind the face of Diageo’s Reserve portfolio in Kenya.
