A bartending trade show in Krakow is the perfect opportunity to discover new flavors, explore exceptional brands, and exchange experiences with industry professionals. At Better Bar Show 2026, held on August 4–5 at the historic Forty Kleparz venue, Crimston Spirits was proud to be among the exhibitors. We created two dedicated tasting zones, showcasing the diversity of our premium spirits portfolio.
One of our zones was dedicated to five distinctive brands, each representing different traditions, styles, and approaches to crafting exceptional spirits. Surrounded by the historic walls of Forty Kleparz, visitors had the opportunity to discover products with unique stories, carefully selected ingredients, and distinctive designs.
In this zone, we presented Pampelle, Portofino Dry Gin, Roberto Cavalli Vodka, Palmaráe Golden Gin Premier Cru, and LOUERS® Vodka. Each brand has its own identity, combining quality and craftsmanship with inspiration drawn from different corners of the world.
From the French aperitivo tradition and the Mediterranean aromas of the Italian Riviera to the exotic influences of Marrakech, the luxurious aesthetics of Italian fashion, and contemporary Dutch design, our tasting zone offered visitors a journey through different expressions of the premium spirits world.
Throughout the two-day event, we had the pleasure of meeting bartenders, hospitality professionals, and enthusiasts of exceptional spirits. Product tastings, engaging conversations, and the exchange of industry knowledge created a welcoming space to share our passion. Discover the brands we showcased at this year’s Better Bar Show!
Pampelle and Portofino Dry Gin – Mediterranean inspirations
Our tasting zone wouldn’t have been complete without brands that perfectly capture the essence of the Mediterranean lifestyle.
Pampelle is a French grapefruit aperitif that combines refreshing citrus notes with a delicate bitterness. Inspired by the South of France, it reflects the tradition of aperitivo and the culture of relaxed gatherings over cocktails.
Another featured brand was Portofino Dry Gin, an Italian gin inspired by the picturesque village of Portofino on the Ligurian Riviera. Its recipe features 21 botanicals, including aromatic herbs and citrus fruits characteristic of the Mediterranean region.
Both brands brought a distinctive atmosphere to our tasting zone, combining expressive flavor profiles with recognizable bottle designs and Mediterranean-inspired aesthetics.
Roberto Cavalli Vodka and Palmaráe – two expressions of luxury
Among the other brands showcased at Better Bar Show 2026 were Roberto Cavalli Vodka and Palmaráe Golden Gin Premier Cru.
Roberto Cavalli Vodka is a brand that brings together the world of luxury spirits and the sophisticated aesthetics of Italian fashion. Its distinctive bottle designs, elegant details, and recognizable visual identity make Roberto Cavalli products stand out not only for what is inside the bottle but also for their striking appearance.
During the event, the brand was presented in a specially designed display that highlighted its exclusive character.
Meanwhile, Palmaráe Golden Gin Premier Cru transports spirits enthusiasts into a world inspired by the culture and aromas of Morocco. Crafted in France, this gin combines traditional distillation techniques with botanicals inspired by Marrakech, including orange blossom, Moroccan mint, and dates.
The distinctive Palmaráe bottle, recognized for its elegant design, perfectly complements the brand’s story, bringing together French craftsmanship and Moroccan inspiration.
The presence of both brands demonstrated how differently luxury can be interpreted in the world of premium spirits.
LOUERS® Vodka – a modern expression of premium spirits
Our tasting zone also featured LOUERS® Vodka, a Dutch brand representing the ultra-premium spirits segment.
LOUERS® stands out for its innovative approach to design. The bottle’s original shape and carefully crafted details give it a distinctive appearance that reflects the brand’s luxurious identity.
It is a perfect example of a product where packaging aesthetics play an essential role in shaping the overall brand experience.
At Better Bar Show, LOUERS® was another exciting addition to our showcase, demonstrating how both product quality and distinctive visual identity contribute to the contemporary premium spirits market.
More than tastings – connections and conversations about spirits
Better Bar Show is much more than a place to showcase products. Above all, it is a space for exchanging knowledge, experiences, and inspiration.
Throughout the two-day event, our tasting zone welcomed hospitality professionals, bartenders, and premium spirits enthusiasts.
Conversations about product origins, differences between spirits categories, and their applications in modern mixology allowed us to share a broader perspective on the stories and craftsmanship behind the brands in the Crimston Spirits portfolio.
Another important highlight of our participation was the tasting passport experience, which connected both Crimston Spirits zones.
Visitors could collect stamps by sampling individual spirits, and those who completed their entire passports received a special gift prepared by our team.
The initiative encouraged guests to discover more brands from our portfolio and introduced an interactive element to the event.
