Here
at Psychopomp we love all categories of delicious booze, but we do
have a few favorites, and Sherry is right up there! So distillers
table sherry had to happen, and boy did it happen.
We
decided to use the ever delicious sherries from Sanchez Romate, a
great bodega knocking out some really great liquids. We went with
three very different styles, kicking off with a crisp dry Fino, we
then embraced the complex nutty notes of the Palo Cortado and
finished up with the sweet sweet nectar that is Pedro Ximinez. We
served each sherry along side a simple food pairing and created
cocktails to showcase the how versatile these wines are. Here is what

We are on the look out for the right person to come and join our distillery family. We have a new position available for a distillery apprentice. The position involves working with the teams at both of our distilleries, learning on the job as well as through external accredited courses in distillation. There is no experience necessary, but there are a few attributes that will certainly come in handy. Attention to detail, computer literacy, an interest in science, a driving license and a good head for numbers would all certainly help. However the most important things we are looking for are a desire to learn and a passion for flavour. The role is based on 30 hours a week of work and 10 hours a week of independent learning leading to internationally recognised qualifications. We are a living wage employer, we have some great perks and we pride ourselves in being a good employer. We will genuinely consider all applicants.

How long have you called bristol home? I’ve called Bristol home since 2012. Although I first moved here in 1994 then went on a 12 year working holiday to Brighton in 2000. What do you love about it as a city? I love that there is, now, lots of really good independent bars, cafes, restaurants etc to spend my time in and work in... along with the usual trappings of a large city... galleries, museums, music venues and the like. I also love that one can walk pretty much everywhere....even if it is up a cursed hill! Where are your favourite places to eat? There are many places I like to eat, but if pushed I’d say that I very much like Cargo Cantina, for the nachos. Asado, for the burgers obvs, & Souk kitchen, for the everything. Also pi shop pizzeria, for the “quality check”. Where are your favourite places to drink? As far as drinking goes I’m a big fan of small bar...beer and I have a very special relationship. A special mention also goes to The

Gin and Tonic Arguably the most popular way to drink gin and possibly the most famous booze pairing ever. Everyone's recipe varies according to taste but in the distillery we serve ours: 50ml gin, 100ml tonic, in a tall glass with a long stick of ice and garnished with fresh citrus. The history of the G&T really begins with British colonial India, when the British troops would mix their medicinal quinine with their gin ration to make it more palatable. The rise of the G&T as a drink can clearly be traced back to the early days of Queen Victoria and the return of the expatriates from the Indian colonies who had developed a love for the concoction. Martini Made with gin and vermouth, the Martini is arguably one of the mo
