“Marussia has been with me every single step of my 12-year career in London”

Fabio Spinetti

“The bar scene in London is in my opinion the best in the world; from the diversity of the offer across town, from the street bars to the 5-star Hotel bars and anything in between, the drinking culture and the deep knowledge that both patrons and guests share, it makes for an uber-enjoyable and ever-changing industry. One way I try to keep my bars ahead of the curve is through the products we display; Marussia has been with me every single step of my 12-year career in London, helping me select some of the most exclusive spirits and liqueurs the world has to offer, being this rare Cognacs, unusual whisky from obscure distilleries or fantastic Barbadian rums. Always with flare and knowledge, not one product is in the portfolio without a reason. Looking forward to the next decades of discovering new products”
