Fynoderee Manx Dry Gin Winter Edition - 70cl Bottle

Product Information

Although heartbroken and fallen from grace, the Fynoderee is known for good-naturedly assisting those who he befriends, and many are the tales of the hairy fellow’s beneficence. Over the years and by moonlight, he has helped farmers to reap and sow, moved boulders to assist builders and mended many fishermen’s nets on the quaysides around our Island. 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] We review Fynoderee Manx Dry Gin (Spring Edition). What does this gin from the Isle of Man, with locally foraged botanicals, have to offer? Their uniqueblends feature Manx grown and handforaged botanicals and are distilled,bottled and served at the Distillery.

Another tale describes the Fenodyree doing the farmer's work of rounding up the wethers ( gelded ram sheep) that grazed on Snaefell (mountain) and bringing them into the pen; in the process, the fairy mistakenly brought in a hare which he mistook for a little ram. [20] A rendition of this is incorporated into the story cobbled together published as "The Fynoderee of Gordon" by Sophia Morrison, where the fairy herds the sheep into a "cogee house" (a weaving house [31]), and mingled among the sheep is a big hare he mistook for a Loaghtan. [30] This has been described as "the most notable" exploit by the Fenodyree in Morrison's tale.

Located in Ramsey, a small seaside town in the north of the Isle of Man, our name and visual identity is inspired by The Fynoderee Folklore Story - a traditional Manx tale set in Glen Auldyn.The idea of starting up a Manx gin distillery had been with us (local couple, Paul and Tiffany Kerruish) for a number of years before we met Gerard, who happily decided to join us in setting up The Fynoderee Distillery. Delightfully nibblesome Mezze Plates, featuring charcuterie, cheeses, honey, chutney, greens and bread from a range of stunning Isle of Man producers areserved on Friday and Saturday. Moore, Morrison & Goodwin (1924) "cake", Vocabulary, p. 28. "used of flat cakes baked on the griddle".

fŭn-ṓ-đŭr-ĭ or fŭn-ṓđ-rĭ according to John Rhys. [2] Rhys's notation was converted into IPA based on P. E. Rogers's paper. [3] See Rhys (1901), p.2, note 1 on discussion of the Welsh "dd" also written as a symbol "like a Greek delta", and "represented by đ in the Welsh extracts" by Rhys. The symbol "like Greek delta" as occurs in Rhys's Outlines (1894) is called "Gaelic d" by Rogers. Make no mistake, this gin makes a great gin and tonic. It’s a traditional, juniper-forward type of gin. We thought that the pepperiness we mentioned above made it work equally well with both the premium Indian tonic and the elderflower tonic we paired it with. Perhaps a bit more left-field (we do live on the edge) we also tried it with mediterranean tonic – that was also a winner. Fast forward 70 years and who would have thought that this little bush would go on to inspire a brand new distillery on the Isle of Man! Juniper is the primary ingredient in gin and it was reading online articles about the re-introduction of Juniper to the Island by the Manx Wildlife Trust which led us to discover the story of “Kitty Kerruish and The Fynoderee”, a Manx folklore story that went on to inspire our brand identity. All our Fynoderee Distillery bottles are fully recyclable via standard recycling facilities. Just remember to remove the cork (and the premium Manx Spirit!) in advance.

Shake off the winter chill and step into our world this December at The Fynoderee Distillery, Ramsey, for a festive dining experiences with real Manx spirit. Fenodyree has also been glossed simply as "the hairy one" [11] or "something hairy" in Manx by Joseph Train and J. F. Campbell after him. [12] Campbell, J. F. (1860), Popular Tales of the West Highlands, vol.1, Edinburgh: Edmonston and Douglas, ISBN 9780810334588Besides herding animals as just mentioned, reaping [21] and threshing overnight may be added to the list of chores he performs for the farmer, [22] [23] as well as herding sheep on a snowy night. [23] The fenodyree may also repair fish-nets or the boat, according to lore among fishermen. [21] The motif of the disdain for the gift of clothing also occurs in other tales where the fenodyree helps the farmer, and pronounces a similar phrase, "Though this place is thine, the great Glen of Rushen is not", and disappears somewhere. [20] John Rhys supposes that it is to Glen Rushen he has gone off to.

The name 'Fynoderee' comes from an ancient Manx folklore talebased in Glen Auldyn in the North of the Island - the very placewhere the last Manx juniper tree was reputed to have grown and where juniper is now being re-introduced.A whisper of the sea comes from a touch of sugar kelp added for its mineral rich umami note that leaves a long, clean finish that’s as invigorating as the Irish Sea itself. Joseph Train, and later John Rhys among others have pointed out that the fenodyree is akin to Lob Lie-By-The-Fire in English folklore, also known as "Lubber Fiend" from Milton. [11] [37] Popular culture [ edit ] 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). I’m a regular visitor to the Isle of Man for family reasons [Andy writing here]. As a gin fan, I never miss the opportunity to sample local gins, and Fynoderee is a treat. I’ll be adding a longer article on Isle of Man Gin in due course but, since we’re in mid-Spring at time of writing, I thought I’d seek out a Fynoderee Spring Edition for us all to try.
