The Whisky Taster

Barney and Nicola are advertising wonder kids. They win accounts with wit, charm and a secret weapon – Barney’s ability to feel, smell and taste colours, and to translate these sensations into words.

Lately Barney has been finding things far too colourful and wishes his full throttle London life was more black and white, but Nicola is hell bent on winning accounts at all costs.

When the two hire an old Scottish Whisky Taster to help them with a new campaign, his strange wisdom slows the Londoners to a stop, just as the deadline looms.

A technicolour story about seeing things too clearly in a city that never stands still.
