Krzysztof impressed the judging panel with his "S&B Highball" and won the inaugural 808 award for “Exceptional Innovation in Closed Loop Techniques”
His cocktail S&B – representing salt & bread have a deep meaning in Polish culture: as the basis of food, it was supposed to ensure life and protect it. Bread and salt greeted travellers returning or coming from distant trips. Krzysztof created a Mint Kvass to accompany Chivas Regal at the heart of his serve. With sustainability at its heart, the Kvass is made with stale leftover sourdough rye bread and takes four days to prepare. When combined with the rich honey and ripe pear notes of Chivas 12 it makes a super highball. This entry impressed the judging panel so much that Krzysztof was awarded the sustainability champion trophy for his S&B creation!!
We’ll feature the complete S&B serve from Krysztof’s in the near future to explore all the processes and technique he put to use.
