CC: What sparked an interest in your chosen field?

I did a college placement with a drinks company which was kind of sexy. I was given 2 projects on wine and cider and told to create a solution. Although I was green, it was fantastic and exciting and in fun categories. My friends were paper pushing & photocopying for marketing managers and directors. I then worked with the Australian Rugby union on my 2nd placement and really saw how sport and sponsorship could work. It was a great time and I realised that I was willing to work really hard for things that I had passion for. At school I hadn't really caught the bug and was bright but lazy. Here were real practical ways for me to get involved and I loved it.

Rock and Rye
Written by Mike Armstrong   

Rock and Rye. Old bar manuals and an occasional old drink recipe will call for it. Rock and Rye?

What is it? What does it taste like? Is it hard to find?

It is an American spirit. It gets the name from an original recipe that consisted of rye whiskey with rock sugar on the sides of the bottle. Pretty wild. I’d like to have seen a bottle like that.
