Angus’ phenomenal grasp of the heart and the heritage of spirits and cocktails is respected by bartending gurus and media around the world. He appears regularly on Bloomberg TV and in the pages of The New York Times, The London Independent, South China Morning Post, Toronto Star and many more to comment on drinks industry trend.

Renowned for his expertise in beverage programming, and his knowledge of cocktails past and present, Angus creates seasonal new drinks, promotes innovative serves based on global intel, and revives long-lost classic creations for today’s demanding modern bartender and intrigued and interested civilians alike.
Having a guy with Angus's experience and knowledge come to Norway is great for bartenders working here as we get exposure to the wider drinks scene and learn a lot from one who knows from wide experience. One thing I thought could have helped was sending ahead to the participants a bit more info about the course content so we could have been a little more prepared with questions, ideas etc...at least if we had the alconomics.com site to peruse we would have been familiar with Angus's teaching programme and could have perhaps asked for more of a focus on the techniques, but overall a top presentation, full of valuable info to take back behind the bar. Thanks
