Fynoderee Manx Dry Gin Winter Edition - 70cl Bottle

Product Information

A version that collates several of the fairy's labor is "The Fynoderee of Gordon", [25] published in 1911 by Sophia Morrison. [18] This is arguably the best-known tale about the fenodyree. [25] Fallen fairy knight [ edit ]

Cleasby, Richard; Guðbrandur Vigfússon (1884). hosa. Oxford: Clarendon Press. {{ cite book}}: |work= ignored ( help) As enthusiastic and knowledgeable gin drinkers, we had become increasingly frustrated that there was no small-batch gin producer on the Island when the botanical landscape and “Biosphere” was so well suited to producing an original and high quality product using locally foraged ingredients. Deciding to take matters in to our own hands, a confluence of events in our lives gradually turned a pipe-dream into a reality when we met Gerard who worked for a successful small batch distiller in England (Masons Dry Yorkshire Gin) . A resulting friendship and working relationship with Gerard has now brought together the team that is ‘Fynoderee’. Enjoy a refreshing “Fyn & Tonic” on arrival before learning all about the beginnings of our distillery, the fascinating Manx folklore that has inspired our name, our artwork and our ethos. The next night, fairies from all parts of the Isle of Man assembled before the Great King and Queen. Elfin kind, sprites and bugganes came together for a bounteous feast, dancing and much frivolity. Udereek found himself sitting next to a fairy named Estella, who was widely considered to be the most beautiful of all fairy maidens - and who possessed ways of seduction and bewitchery that no mortal man could ever resist. Estella was delighted to be seated next to Udereek and was attracted to him for his good looks and his high position within the Fairy Court. Estella pulled out all the stops to seduce Udereek, but he was immune to her charms, bewitched as he was by his love for Kitty, and to whom he remained true. Then, as the feasting ended and the dancing began, Udereek took his chance to slip away into the night and to find Kitty as he had promised to do.Outside this area we are currently restricted by postal and Customs and Excise rules governing the sale of alcohol, as all our bottles are duty stamped for the UK. Based on the stunning Isle of Man, a world UNESCO biosphere at the heart of the British Isles, The Fynoderee Distillery is dedicated to the production (and enjoyment!) of premium spirits with genuine Manx roots and heritage. Lots of Fyn Fans also repurpose their Fyn bottles by painting them and/or filling them with fairy lights. They also make fyntastic glass bottle walls and garden features! A bit of leftover food was all he asked for reward, according to a ballad: "His was the wizard hand that toil'd / At midnight's witching hour / That gather'd the sheep from the coming storm", and all he required were "scattered sheafs" and "cream-bowl" left on the meal table. [16] In one instance, he accepted the offer to draw water in exchange for a "cake" ( griddlecake [17]), but could not accomplish the task because he was given a leaky sieve instead of a pail. [18] On the other hand, a gift of clothing would drive the creature away, as attested in several tales. [19] [20] [18]

The entrance to The Fynoderee Distillery/ The Fyn Bar and Shop is located on Parsonage Road, Ramsey, IM8 2EE, which connects Albert Terrace (A18) on the TT Course with Waterloo Road (A2). We thought it worked nicely with double the amount of tonic to gin (per our normal serving suggestion for a great gin and tonic). As always, make sure you load up on ice too. We did try to sip at this gin neat; it may work for some, but much preferred the classic gin and tonic approach. For a garnish, we thought both lemon and lime worked well. Something like a bramble (or another soft fruit) might work really nicely too.

[20] John Rhys supposes that it is to Glen Rushen he has gone off to. [20] [c] Parallels [ edit ]

Moore, Morrison & Goodwin (1924) "cake", Vocabulary, p. 28. "used of flat cakes baked on the griddle". Fynoderee is distilled up in the north of the island (near Jurby, we believe). There are other seasons of Fynoderee available (Winter, Summer and Autumn are all there!), as well as a Pink Gin and a Kerala Chai edition. All are bottled to 43%. What we should say up front is that none of these gins appear to be too easy to get hold of – and some of the gins have sold out – so make sure to snap some up if you get the chance.

The name Fynoderee is from an ancient Manx folklore tale, based in Glen Auldyn in the north of the Island - the very place where the last Manx juniper tree was reputed to have grown and where juniper is now being re-introduced.
