‘Classic Cocktails’
The secondary ageing is furthermore developing well. Now into a deep amber colour, the sweet notes of oak are mingling well with the previously steely Manhattan.
A certain oilyness is also apparent as the wood leaches into the spirit- an aspect which can be seen in non-chill filtered products. A slight clouding can be expected when the drink is mixed.
Interestingly, the light wood infusion has developed more with the bourbon notes- a sweeter medley of vanilla, lemon fudge and eucalyptus on the nose whereas the dark wood has marched further down the richer route, with tobacco and christmas spices evident but playing much more into the vermouth.
The gauntlet has been thrown!
As Autumn roles around, wild plum trees yield fresh damson berries and the stroll towards the winter period begins, the two venues are busy preparing batches of homemade Damson Gin. Who will create better results though? The bar with no name are utilising their knowledge gained from work in the lab so are bringing a new school method to the mix whilst the Charles Lamb are sticking with the more traditional (slow) techniques.

Being utilised in the 69 Bloody Mary (our favourite so far in the saga of bloody marys- now with homemade tabasco, celery salt and black pepper tincture!) and in a variation at the Charles Lamb, it is now also available to buy at the bar with no name at a bargain price of £12.

Please be considerate to those who may not make it in today; there’s only one bottle!
Sometime over the next three weeks, we will deliver the first ever glimpse of the latest Vintage.
The exact date is shrouded in secrecy to ensure a fair chance of tasting the most recent fleeting incarnation; a careful eye will have to be cast on the bar with no name.
Early reports suggest an even longer finish, enormous body, a gentle hue akin to a vintage tawny port and an aroma that could be nosed for hours…
Sharing’s caring- just to give everyone a sporting chance, one per person please
To celebrate its first birthday (it’s always best to celebrate on the day itself), we have available from today the one year old Manhattans (keep watching for the 6yo!). Beautiful colour, and simply quite stunning. A real treat for those of you that had tried the 6months.
Whilst stocks last!
