Review:

Kacper Dylak says of his drink, “Las Raices is Spanish for ‘roots.’ I consider my roots to have been shaped not only by my parents in my home country of Poland, but also by my journey through life. I have lived in Spain, England, Poland and now Switzerland; these places, every new person I have met and each new skill I have learnt has shaped who I am now.

“Being deeply attached to your roots does not mean standing in one place. Each ingredient in this cocktail relates to something important to my still-evolving story and connects it with the ever-evolving history of BACARDÍ rum.”
