It may be news to you, as it was to us, that \u201cThe Savoy\u201d stands for Savoy Beaufort Bar<\/a> \u2014 last year chosen the Best International Bar and now the inspiration for Age of Discovery<\/em>. What\u2019s Age of Discovery<\/em>? A specially created (by the team at The Savoy), barrel-aged, limited edition cocktail.<\/span><\/p>\n Clearly, that appeals to Cunard\u2019s clientele.<\/span><\/p>\n That\u2019s where Jack comes in.
