For lovers of fine spirits, Maison Ferrand is hosting an intimate evening at The Kempinski, built around cocktails, a Planteray rum experience, neat tastings and food pairings in the presence of APAC Manager Maylis Berger. It’s the kind of after-work rendez-vous where you take your time, explore craftsmanship in the glass and let the evening unfold in a refined, European setting.
