Last Wednesday night, William Grant & Sons celebrated world-traveler and author of the much loved Gentleman’s Companion, Charles H. Baker, Jr., with its highly anticipated invite only portfolio party at the New Orleans Lakefront Airport. The annual event, spearheaded by creative director St. John Frizzell, drew more than 1,000 spirits industry professionals, respected mixologists and guests. Paying homage to a hero and an inspiration to many cocktail lovers, the party borrowed inspiration from the stories he shared and the legendary parties he threw, fascinating friends with exotic cocktails and his tales of abroad adventures.
