Write to the counterHot, salty, not pretty.
Navy strength, with samphire in the basket. Drink it long, with tonic that still tastes of quinine.
£36 02 — RyeThe house bottle.
A four-year Kentucky rye we buy by the cask and label ourselves. Pepper, cocoa, a short finish.
£42 03 — AmaroFrom a back room in Trieste.
Gentian and dried orange. One measure after dinner, or with soda if the evening is still going.
£28 04 — MezcalSmoke that stays.
Espadín, roasted in an earth pit. Sip it. Do not shoot it. We will judge you, quietly.
