Spanish brandies and liqueurs
Note that the brandies de Jerez are all softer, richer and more warmly aromatic than their French counterparts, but are in no manner inferior – these are all of the highest quality. The Lepanto is the lightest, most “Cognacais” in style, and the others gradually ascend to the unabashed lushness of the Conde De Osborne. Lepanto (Gonzalez Byass), Carlos Primero (Domecq), Gran Durque De Alba (Williams and Humbert) and Conde De Osborne (Osborne). All @ £9.95 per 50ml. (double) measure
Ponche is a brandy-and-orange based liqueur, smoother, darker and less “spirity” than, say, Cointreau	£6.50
Orujo is, effectively, Galician grappa! A fiery, potent distillate of grape pomace	£6.50
Licor 43 is a sweet vanilla and herb liqueur, best sipped over ice	£6.50
Patxaran is the archetypal digestif of Navarra and the Basque country, sloe berries macerated in anis spirit- very more-ish.	£6.50
Dessert wines
Moscatel De La Marina, Bodegas Mendoza, 2008 almost delicate for a wine with 15% of alcohol, this is the essence of Muscat grapes crushed into a glass. Fragrantly scented, gently sweet with a pure, clean finish	£24.70 bottle £4.50 glass
Gandesa Garnatxa Negre Mistela extraordinary sweet red Grenache, lightly fortified, explosive nose of blueberries and brioche, mouth-filling fullness with the most brilliant note of red-grape tannin to resolve the whole package	£29.15 ½ litre £7.40 glass
De Luxe Cream Oloroso/PX, Lustau mature, tawny colour, nose of burnt caramel, raisins, figs, fully developed honey/salty sweetness, great balancing acidity-truly outstanding with cheese, especially blue.	£5.40/glass

Cappuccino	£2.00
