The Boisdale Xerjoff Editors Lunch & Awards 2025 was
a glamorous, high-octane affair hosted impeccably by
Natasha Hamilton of Atomic Kitten and William Sitwell.
Xerjoff provided samplers of exquisite perfume which
enhanced the atmosphere with heavenly scent. For the
reception, we enjoyed Glenmorangie, Ardbeg, Highclere
Castle Gin cocktails and Chapel Down sparkling wine.
For lunch, langoustines & Dunkeld smoked salmon with
Chapel Down Chardonnay, then salt marsh lamb with Santa
Rita Carmenère Reserva 2019, and Tomintoul Cigar Malt
with British cheeses. Other notable awards not included in
the gallery include Eliza Ross-Smith of LVMH presenting
Rose Prince with Boisdale Life Food Writer of the Year;
Caroline Park of Santa Rita presenting the Boisdale Life
Wine Writer of the Year to Jane Anson; Elizabeth Fox of
Visit Jamaica awarding Bill Knott as Boisdale Life Writer
of the Year, and 昀椀nally, but perhaps most importantly, Roy
Sommer of Davidoff presented Boisdale Life Bon Viveur of
the Year to the bull昀椀ghting hero Alexander Fiske-Harrison.
Simon Bartholomew of The Brand New Heavies was presented
Boisdale Life Music Writer of the Year 2024 by Stephen Davies of
