Halloween with Horse With No Name Whiskey
Howdy! This Halloween we will be donning our best cowboy hat and dishing up some delicious drinks with Horse With No Name Whiskey. Get your boots on and come grab some specials!
Horse with No Name is from The Horse's Spirit Co., which features the fruity combo of bourbon and habanero pepper. The bourbon comes from Texas's Firestone & Robertson Distilling Co., while The Horse's Spirit Co. makes a habanero distillate (using red savina peppers, specifically) in Germany, which are then combined to make Horse With No Name! The distillation process allows all of the fruity, pepper notes to come through, whilst leaving the wild heat at the door. Great in cocktails, particularly in a funky twist on a Manhattan, or a Mule...

Hidden away in the historical lanes of Tudor Bath is a true gem. Stonewalled, wood-laden and walls lined with whiskey for every taste. Legend tells us this was originally a hoard for thieves, highwaymen, scoundrels and opportunists alike, a place to laugh and cheer, make new contacts and strike deals. A meeting place for every lawless reprobate for miles around, where stories are told and drinks are shared .
For years this hole in the wall was a haven for the outlaws of their day, unruliness was rife and law enforcement was scared to set a foot anywhere near. Steal from the rich and come and spend the bounty here. It was a perfect Hideout.
After years of being buried, being thought lost forever, this Hideout has emerged once more. Men worked tirelessly to bring this legendary keep to the surface once again. The bar has been returned to all its glory and is open for business, with a slightly more modern Bath twist.

Thanks to natural alchemy and centuries-old craftsmanship, The Balvenie is unique among single malts. Their whisky-making process is dedicated to maintaining the Five Rare Crafts and they are the only distillery in Scotland that still grows its own barley, uses traditional floor maltings and keeps both a coppersmith and a team of coopers on site. And of course, the Malt Master David C. Stewart presides over the all-important maturation process. Making The Balvenie the most hand-crafted of single malts.

Classic Sundays - Portobello Road Gin

The base spirit is distilled here in England from English-grown wheat. The nine botanical ingredients come from around the world; these include juniper berries and orris from Tuscany, Spanish lemon peels, bitter orange peels from Haiti or Morocco, nutmeg from Indonesia and cassia bark from South East Asia.
In the nine months of experimentation that followed the character of the gin was slowly created - a little more of this, a little less of that, this one makes a nice Martini, that one makes a nice Negroni, well you get the picture. Slowly but surely something they could be proud of emerged. Thus Portobello Road No 171 Gin was born.
Classic Sundays - Amaro Montenegro
We’re taking a lower ABV approach to this Classic Sunday. Amaro Montenegro are bringing you two classic cocktails for £6 each. An Amaro Cobbler (Montenegro, Strawberry, Lemon) and a Paper Plane (Montenegro, Bourbon, Lemon, Aperol).
Amaro Montenegro was born in 1885 with the name Elisir Lungavita and immediately received notable recognition. 11 years later, marking the marriage of the charming Princess Elena of Montenegro to Prince Vittorio Emanuele III, the founder Stanislao decided to dedicate his storied elixir to her royal highness, changing it’s name to Amaro Montenegro.
