What connects the rich aroma of New Zealand coffee with Mexico’s centuries-old tequila-making traditions? At Better Bar Show 2026, visitors could discover the answer at the Crimston Spirits tasting zone!
On August 4–5, 2026, Krakow’s historic Forty Kleparz venue brought together bartending professionals, mixology enthusiasts, and producers and distributors of exceptional spirits. Among the exhibitors was Crimston Spirits, which prepared two dedicated zones showcasing brands from its premium spirits portfolio.
One of these zones featured Jumping Goat and Casa Don Ramón – two distinctive brands representing different traditions, origins, and flavor profiles. Throughout the two-day event, visitors had the opportunity to explore their unique characteristics, discover the inspiration behind each product, and connect with our team.
Jumping Goat – New Zealand coffee with a unique twist
The first brand featured in our tasting zone was Jumping Goat, a premium coffee liqueur from New Zealand that combines the rich aroma of coffee with the distinctive character of carefully crafted spirits.
What sets Jumping Goat apart is its use of cold brew coffee and its unconventional approach to traditional coffee liqueurs. The brand’s portfolio includes vodka-based and whisky-based varieties, offering different interpretations of rich coffee flavors.
Jumping Goat fits perfectly into the world of modern mixology, particularly given the growing popularity of coffee-based cocktails such as the Espresso Martini.
During Better Bar Show, the brand sparked conversations about the creative possibilities of incorporating coffee notes into cocktails and how carefully selected ingredients can influence the character and balance of the final drink.
Casa Don Ramón – Mexican Heritage and the character of agave
The second brand presented in our zone was Casa Don Ramón, which introduced Better Bar Show visitors to the fascinating world of Mexican spirits.
The brand is best known for its tequila and mezcal, both deeply rooted in Mexico’s rich cultural heritage and traditional agave production methods.
The Casa Don Ramón portfolio features a variety of tequilas, ranging from fresh and expressive expressions to more complex, barrel-aged varieties. This diversity highlights the remarkable range of aromas and flavors that can be achieved within a single spirits category.
Casa Don Ramón‘s presence at Better Bar Show provided an opportunity to introduce visitors to the distinctive character of Mexican spirits and explore their role in contemporary cocktail culture.
Crimston Spirits tasting passport – unique better bar show experience
One of the special highlights of our participation in Better Bar Show 2026 was an interactive tasting passport experience, created for visitors exploring both Crimston Spirits zones.
Each participant received a tasting passport, inviting them to embark on a journey through the diverse brands in our portfolio. Visitors could collect stamps by sampling the featured spirits, and those who completed their passports received a special gift prepared by our team.
The tasting passport connected both Crimston Spirits zones – from New Zealand’s Jumping Goat and Mexico’s Casa Don Ramón to five additional premium spirits brands showcased throughout the event.
The experience offered much more than product tastings. It encouraged visitors to discover the stories behind individual brands, explore their distinctive characteristics, and engage in conversations with our team.
Better Bar Show 2026 – through the eyes of visitors
For us, Better Bar Show is first and foremost about people. Conversations at the stand, questions about the origins of our products, and the exchange of experiences are all essential parts of events like this.
That is why we wanted our tasting zone to be more than just a place to showcase premium spirits. Our goal was to create a welcoming space for meaningful connections, engaging conversations, and fresh inspiration.
The best thing about events like this is that every bottle has a story behind it. And at Better Bar Show, there were plenty of stories worth discovering.
