Poire William – Lime Juice - Egg White
A regal mix of Australian Bianco vermouth ripe with notions of
finger limes and vanilla, exceptional pot-still vodka, dry
Marasca Cherry liqueur marry together to make and a sweet,
aromatic and silk quaff for even the noblest of rouges.
Word Of God £8.5
Bulleit Rye - Cynar - Salt
The sweet and sour notes of 95% rye grain Kentucky whiskey
make it a perfect match for Italy’s prized artichoke amaro Cynar
and briney cornichon pickles. You shouldn’t taste the salt, it’s
just there to cut the bitterness from the liqueur and boost the
juicy sweetness in the whiskey.
Lost In The Woods £10
Plantation Barbados - Maple Syrup - Cedarwood bitters - Applewood smoke
We’ve devised this twist on an old-fashioned to highlight the
amazing array of flavour and aroma to be coaxed from wood.
Perfumed cedarwood and sweet maple contribute, before the lot
is lightly smoked with fruity applewood.

French Style
Port Royal £9
French Style or Rhum Agricole, is very different to other Rums. It must
be made from fresh sugarcane juice rather than molasses and must be
distilled in a single column still. The resulting Rum retains much of the flavour of
the cane and is very fruity and floral

Vodka
While Vodka has probably been made since the 8th Century or so, the Vodka that is made
today is a very different beast. Distilled to a point of almost pure alcohol, then filtered many
times and watered down, modern day Vodka is almost characterless. The greatest
Vodka’s manage to retain some character of their original product, like the ones below

Appleton White Rum – Batavia Arrack – Matcha Tea – PortSide Parlour Spice Mix

Byrrh – Green Chartreuse - Maple Syrup - Angostura Bitters – Peychaud’s Bitters
A harmonious matrimony of sweet maple, fragrant Chartreuse and
Aperol are lead down the aisle by a bittersweet hint of Byrrh.
Added is a rich measure of punchy young Cognac all
rounded off by the complex spiciness of Rittenhouse Rye
to produce an elegant finish.
Jack “Legs” Diamond £9.5
If you like it a little stronger switch out the cognac and rye blend
for a full measure of Monkey shoulder blended malt scotch whiskey
and give it some ‘legs’.

line between being drunk and merely on Autopilot...
Spanish Caravan £8.5
Belsazar Dry – Strega – Honey Water - Fennel Juice – Lime Juice
Reminiscent of the lightness of the far away summers, honey’s
natural affinity for saffron is exploited whilst the rousing aroma’s
from fennel juice anchor the frailty and brightness of the peach
tinged aromatic Belsazar vermouth.
Mae West £8.5
Tapatio Blanco – Yellow Chartreuse – Bergamot Honey – Pineapple Juice
Lime Juice – Black Pepper
A light and earthy mix of pepper, chartreuse and dry sherry bring

Scotch Whisky
American Whiskey
Many think of Scotch immediately when the word Whisky is uttered, yet not
as many value the nuancesof Scotch and how to appreciate it. The true beauty
of Scotch lies in its regional variances.
American Whiskey went through a dark age from prohibition era until the later
part of the twentieth century. While American Whiskey does have regional
differences, the key differences lie in its Marsh Bill. This is the list of grains that go into
whiskey. The grains that might be included on the ‘Bill’ are corn, wheat, rye, and malted
barley. Corn Whiskey must contain 80% Corn, Bourbon Whiskey must have at least 51%
Corn, Rye Whiskey must have at least 51% Rye and for any of them to be labelled
“straight” they must be aged for a minimum of two years.
Single Malt refers to a spirit made only from malted barley, in a pot still, from one
distillery. Most consider these the lords of the Scotch world. Single grain refers to spirit
made from malted and unmalted barley, generally in a column still from one distillery.
Blended Scotch refers to a spirit that is a blend of many distilleries’ single malts with Grain
Whisky.

Gin
In some crude form a juniper based spirit that has been with us since the 11th Century.
It was believed that the juniper would ward off many maladies, including the Bubonic
plague. At some point, hundreds of years later, it went from health tonic to Gin and tonic.

Brandy derives from the Dutch word of “burnt wine”. Originally distilled for ease of
transport and to avoid taxation, which was based on volume, it was quickly discovered
that the time the raw spirit spent in wooden barrels improved it greatly.
So began the nobel tradition of ageing & blending distilled wine.

Rum
Rum truly is the pirate of all spirit categories. Whilst most other spirits are now
recognised in various government and international trade regulations, Rum
has very little in the way of this. In fact, the only regulation for Rum is that it has to
be made from a by-product of sugar cane, be that sugar cane juice or molasses.
This means that you get a huge diversity in Rum styles and means of production, with a
larger variety of flavours and expressions than any other spirit category. To try to assist
you through this somewhat confusing category we’ve done our best to group them in what
we regard as suitable Rum “styles” that are similar in the means of production,
history and flavour profile.
Age Classifications for all Rum:
The age statement is often obtuse and deceitful. We’ve pointed out where the age statement
is the minimum age and where it refers to the maximum age.
Traditional English Style
These Rums are generally aged quite extensively in charred oak, often distilled in a copper
pot and are blended to maintain their distinctive flavour. They are quite heavy, molasses
rich with hints of spice and chocolate.

Sometimes pot still, sometimes column still, these Rums are also generally aged
extensively. The resultant spirit is rich, and has notes of spice, but with a touch of fruit
and is generally smoother, lighter and more refined than their traditional cousins.
