Kappy sits down for an inspiring conversation with Simon Ford, co-founder of Fords Gin and a celebrated figure in the world of spirits and cocktails. As a returning guest, Simon reflects on his journey in gin-making, emphasizing the deeper values Fords Gin brings to the hospitality community. He shares how Fords is more than just a bottle on the shelf; it's a commitment to bringing people together, supporting industry creativity, and giving back through memorable experiences. Simon also gives us a sneak peek (sneak listen?!) at the new cocktail bar at the Fords Gin distillery in London.
