A BIT ABOUT YOUR HOSTS!
Beth Brickenden and Vanity von Glow are making waves as both TV presenters on Amazon Prime’s The Three Drinkers in Ireland and as hosts of the fabulous and hugely entertaining Drag & Wine, which completed a month of sell out shows at last year’s Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
Vanity has spent over a decade at the top as a cabaret tour-de-force and one of the London West End’s most recognisable drag queen talents.
Beth has worked at the forefront of the wine industry for a decade since leaving the Emerald Isle and has mastered the art of creating accessible wine tastings that champion quality wine through witty and entertaining events.
Fragrant Drops is a range of independently bottled Scotch Whiskies and other ambrosial libations brought to you by George Keeble & Rachel Dixon of Keeble Cask Company Ltd. Based in Leith, Edinburgh, they source casks from across bonny Scotland and around the globe to bottle them when they feel they're good and ready for you to enjoy (and fall in love with). They pride themselves on only bottling what they themselves would have on their shelves at home.
George Keeble has worked in the whisky industry since 2011 in various capacities. He's been a bartender, manager, distiller, warehouseman, writer, awards judge, tasting host, cask broker and now bottler! Where George has hosted hundreds of tastings, Rachel Dixon has attended them, loving whisky long before she perhaps was allowed to and propping up many a whisky bar. She joined George in 2021 and handles all operations of the business, not least the tasting of samples for potential bottlings. What a horrible job!
