Ron Aransay
Ron's interest in bartending was sparked in university when he saw schoolmates flairing in a bartending class and found it cool. While he got the lowest score in flairing that semester, he attained the highest score the following semester after consistent practice driven by his competitive spirit.
After graduation, Ron started his bartending career in City of Dreams, Manila. In 2016, he moved to Macau as a Senior Bartender at The Macallan Whisky Bar & Lounge for 6 years, crafting drinks with 500 different labels of whiskeys.
Ron loves working with whiskeys for his creations, and has attained various awards in Hong Kong including 1st place in Campari Asian Bartender Competition Hong Kong and Macau in November 2019.
