BAR focuses on five people from around the US who descend on the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, NY, along with 70 other students, to participate in the BAR 5-Day course – the world’s premiere educational program on distilled spirits and mixology – it’s for spirits what the Court of Master Sommeliers is for wine. Don Hardy follows the five through a week where they learn from the world’s leading cocktail and spirit experts and undergo rigorous testing in hopes of joining the highest ranks. While the competition is intense, the folks in this community strive to lift each other up and inspire the next generation. Thrilling, inspirational, and stirring (pun unintended), BAR provides a front-row seat into the personal lives and talents of individuals pursuing a life-changing achievement and striving to prove they are the best of the best.
