On November 10, by invitation of Blagoff Premium Vodka, Ron Busman, Vice-President of the International Bartenders Association (IBA), visited Ukraine. The invited delegation consisted also of Sergey Kodatsky, President of the All-Ukrainian Bartenders Association and official representative of IBA in Ukraine, Irina Mashykhina, the holder of Grand-Prix of the World Bartenders’ Competition, and representatives of the regional bartenders associations of Ukraine.
International Bartenders Association, the most influential barmen organization in the world, was established on February 24, 1951. IBA (International Bartenders Association) currently unites the best bartenders of the planet from 52 countries and is the organizer of WCC (World Cocktail Competition), the most recognized bartenders’ competition.
During a friendly visit, the barmen watched the production of Blagoff premium vodkas and cocktails at Image Holding, the leading European enterprise of the alcohol branch, and were strongly impressed by the modern production technologies and especially by the product itself, which the guests got to know closer during the tasting of Blagoff premium vodkas and cocktails. Answering the questions of the Ukrainian barmen, Ron Busman noted, “Everything is just excellent! I am very much surprised by the enterprise’s technical level, total cleanness of production, and personnel’s professionalism. I would like to note especially the taste of Blagoff Premium vodka – exactly this vodka has its own individual taste, I have not encountered anything similar. It is an absolutely new experience for me, and I believe this product has great prospects.”
In the evening, a creative cocktail session took place in Manila casino and bar where 12 absolutely unique cocktails on the basis of Blagoff premium vodkas and cocktails were prepared. Evgeny Razuvaev, Brand Manager of Blagoff Premium Vodka, stated that Ron Busman’s visit was the first step to efficient cooperation between Blagoff Premium Vodka and the International Bartenders Association. The reason is that Blagoff Premium Vodka, known already in 77 different countries, considers IBA a reliable and reputable international partner. At the end of the evening, Ron Busman, having raised his glass filled with one of the cocktails, proposed a toast to the best mix in the world, professionalism, and cooperation!
