• Produced in a single distilling season by one distiller at one distillery


• Stored for at least 4 years in wooden containers


• Reduced in proof with by the addition of only pure water to exactly 100 proof

Cocktail of the Week:
Horses Neck

• 2 oz Bourbon


• 2 dashes Angostura Aromatic Bitters


• Ginger Ale


• Long “ribbon” of lemon peel

• Using a channel knife, peel a lemon in one long spiral. Twist around your finger or a barspoon to create a coil.


• Drop the lemon coil into a highball or Collins glass leaving the end hanging over the lip and fill with ice.


• Add bourbon and bitters. Top up with ginger ale.

(In a pinch, you can use a standard lemon wedge)

Toast of the Week:
May you…

Work like you don’t need the money,

love like you’ve never been hurt,

dance like no-one is watching,

screw like it’s being filmed,

and drink like a true Irishman.
