The Grand Final for the UKBG-JSS Great Honkaku Shochu & Awamori Contest was streamed LIVE from the Londoner Hotel, the world's first 'super boutique hotel' nestled on the corner of Leicester Square, London.

A little island in the heart of the city, home to three beautifully designed bar spaces - The Y Bar, The Drawing Room, and The Whisky Room - it's the perfect setting to bring you great looking coverage of the whole event.
