Supposedly based on the original recipe of Proffesor Sylvius de Bouve in 1572. This is a blend of 50% malt wine and 505 neutral spirit. It offers up a more whisky like sweeter style of gin with a snifter of associated history. Bols is also the oldest distilled brand in the world. BROKERS 40% £3.25 Nicely balanced with a touch of liquorice sweetness this London Dry gin is distilled using a 200 year old still with an equally old recipe. It has been specially blended to be very dry & uses 10 different botanicals and an English wheat base. GILBEYS 37.5% £3.25 A classic London Dry Gin from Gilbey's. The brand was founded in London in 1857 by brothers Walter and Albert Gilbey in the basement of a retail shop on Oxford Street. BATHTUB, PROFESSOR CORNELIUS AMPLEFORTH 43.3% £3.50 An extraordinary award-winning gin, produced by Professor Cornelius Ampleforth. Made using the traditional method of Cold Compounding (or in layman’s terms – infusing). Very high quality copper pot-still spirit is infused with ingredients including Juniper, Orange Peel, Coriander, Cinnamon, Cloves and Cardamom. This gin is made in ultra-small batches of only 30-60 bottles at a time, and the length of the compounding period is controlled entirely by periodic sampling. The result is a great gin, lightly tinted by the botanicals, and with a flavour which is both bold, and perfumed all at once.

  • Road Hole Bar Drinks Menu 2009
    Welcome to The Road Hole Bar In your view lies the world famous Road Hole; the par-4 17th of The Old Course and one of the most challenging holes in the game of Golf. From a blind tee shot, players must hit over The Hotel and avoid a notorious bunker protecting the green. Overcook it and over the back of the green you will be greeted with hazards including a tarmac road and an old stone wall. Both are in play; a wayward shot can lead a player to take their next stroke off the road or to hit the face of the wall and take their chances with the ensuing bounce “If you designed the hole now you would be shot. If you said now 'I'm going to put a tee over an old railway and get you to hit over a hotel', people would think you were off your head.” Colin Montgomerie Champagne Selection Glass Bottle 125ml Non-Vintage Champagne 001 Laurent-Perrier, Brut £10.50 £60.00 008 Laurent-Perrier, Ultra Brut £78.00 009 Laurent-Perrier, Grand Sie cle £195.00 005 Veuve Cliquot-Ponsardin, Brut £75.00 007 Bollinger Special Cuvee, Brut £75.00 003 Taittinger Reserve, Brut £60.00 Vintage Champagne 012 Laurent-Perrier, 2006 £82.00 023 Dom Perignon, 2003 £250.00 017 Krug, 1990 £450.00 Rosé 027 Laurent-Perrier Rose £14.50 £86.00 Magnums 040 Laurent-Perrier, Brut £112.00 041 Laurent-Perrier, Rose £170.00 “I drink it when I'm happy and when I'm sad.

    A GINspirational Guide to Mothers Ruin, Strip Me Naked or Ladies Delight (A Lazy Guide to Gin) ABV% 25ml GENEVER STYLE First distilled in Flanders, Belgium during the 16th century, where it was used for medicinal purposes, the evolution of genever is well-preserved in manuscripts, artifacts, paintings, pictures, and tradition. Driven by wars and a 17th century distilling ban that lasted over a century, Flemish (Belgian) distillers and their genever migrated throughout Holland, France, and Germany. The Dutch absorbed much of the genever trade into their well-established commerce system, shipping it around the world. Genever was the original 'Dutch Courage' as English Soliders drank it to reinforce themselves for battle during the 30 Years War (1688- 1648) Genever has more in common with whisky than it does with modern day English gin but it was the reason and base on which English gin came to be.
