Shah
Dillon joined William Grant & Sons (WGS) as its Regional Brand Champion in
2013. Founder and owner of Elite Bar Solutions, a Singapore-based company that
provides cocktail and bar solutions for events, Shah oversees and leads his
team in bartending and cocktail curation for William Grant & Sons’ brand
activations across the region.
Only
17 then, Shah discovered his love for bartending while working part-time at
bars and decided to pursue this passion by making it a full-time career.
With
over 8 years of experience at some of the best bars in Singapore, Shanghai and
Sydney, as well as the title of The Singapore National Cocktail Competition
Champion in flair bartending under his belt, Shah is definitely no novice to
the industry. The real buzz he gets from bartending however is not from these
accolades but the interaction with the guests and the sense of satisfaction as
he observes them savouring his cocktail creations.
Rum
is this cocktail mixing enthusiast’s spirit of choice, and some of his
favourites are Sailor Jerry and Santa Teresa. He also favours Scotch such as
Monkey Shoulder, Lagavulin and Talisker when mixing cocktails.
Shah likes to keep his cocktails real without the fluff and pretense, something that also translates to his personality when he is not behind the bar. Coupled with the same genuine personality and insatiable thirst for living life to its fullest, Shah is often seen at the beaches mastering the complex techniques of surfing when he is not working his magic behind the bar.
