“The semi-final of 2014 Peter F. Heering Sling Awards saw a wide array of ingredients with the base spirits used by competitors ranging from Japanese single malt to aquavit, with mezcal and a vast range of different gins. said Simon Difford, creator of the globally renowned Diffords Guide. “The definition of what a Sling actually is was stretched to the breaking point by some competitors in their quest to stand out while others stuck to a recognizable riff on a Singapore Sling with unexpected flavors such as tea, celery and rhubarb mixing and then sampling these very individual 17 drinks made for a most interesting day with Cherry Heering which rightfully shined through in the best entries”.
