The Fish 10857 Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 Good to see somethings don't change. Northern Monk is really good, for what it's worth and the venue was amazing. We paid to hire the place for the Saturday evening, but anything we spent at the bar was deducted from the total. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The original and greatest cocktail. I was on the Cardhu gold reserve last night. Lovely drop but a bit too easy drinking and has left me feeling a little cloudy this morning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you fancy a variation from your norm Mount Gay Black Barrel makes a really good one without breaking the bank (Amazon Prime often have it on sale for about £20). I also go for half and half Angostura and orange bitters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d go 4:1 scotch / Drambuie. Another similar drink is a Corn n Oil. Make sure you use a decent aged Barbados rum (a proper one made, aged and bottled on the island, ie not Plantation). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do a really decent Argentinian Malbec and a Valpolicella Ripasso (both part of their Exquisite Selection). Also they’ve got a fantastic Tasmanian Pinot Noir in for about a tenner if you fancy something a bit different. They’ve even got Chianti in an old skool bottle in a basket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get it down you. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
