Quality drinks require quality ingredients and equipment. Shaker is partnered with industry-leading brands to bring the best to our students and clients.
Many elements go into making the perfect drink—some of them before you even start to mix. From having sparkling-clean glassware, to a good supply of quality ice, to having the best spirits, mixers, syrups and purees; every detail is important. Shaker are proud to partner with the best in the business to make sure these details are perfect during our classes and events.

A true South African icon, Wellington VO Brandy is a premium blend of a selection of 3-5 year old Cape Brandies with unmatured neutral wine spirits. This natural brandy is made with specially selected Colombard and Chenin Blanc wines and distilled in 1000-litre pot stills for a deep concentration of aromas. It's then matured in small, 300-litre oak barrels for a rich, compatible brandy that pairs well with a variety of mixers.
Bushmills Irish Whiskey is the original and best-known whiskey from the old Bushmills distillery, the oldest licensed whiskey distillery in the world, with a history dating back to 1608.
Grain whiskey reserved for Bushmills is aged for a minimum of five year in oak casks that are specially selected to bring out the golden hue and light. When mature this grain whiskey is blended with a single malt whiskey to balance the flavour. Lighter, no smoke and perfectly balanced, Bushmills is triple distilled for exceptional smoothness.
Not much has changed at the Glenfiddich Distillery since the first spirit ran from the stills on Christmas Day, 1887. It is still independent; owned and run by the fifth generation of the same family. Their founder, William Grant, aspired to create the "the best dram in the valley". He achieved it, and Glenfiddich maintain it—through a single-minded dedication to craftsmanship and quality throughout every stage of production.
First to widely export whisky, Glenfiddich put Scotch whisky on the map. By 1914 they had 60 agencies abroad; now they are sold in 180 countries on every continent in the world.
