About this deal

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. Estella beseeched the Great King to exact a terrible revenge on Kitty, but the monarch was a fair man (and not immune himself to the obvious charms of Kitty), and he could not bring himself to harm her. Instead, he gave Kitty instructions to flee the Isle of Man and decreed that she must be gone from the shores of “Ellan Vannin” before the next full moon, otherwise her fate was in the hands of Estella - and he would do nothing to prevent Estella from having her own sweet revenge. Glen Auldyn is a picturesque glen situated a mile outside of Ramsey. It is a narrow valley with a river of the same name. Glen Auldyn translates to “ Glen of Mountain Streams”. Its source is high up near the Island’s tallest peak, the mountain of “ Snaefell”, and descends steeply through ruggedly beautiful scenery, including protected peat bogs and deciduous woodland. It eventually joins the Island’s longest river, “the Sulby”, which flows through Ramsey harbour and out to the Irish Sea. 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. [25] Stone mover [ edit ]

A character in Beauty by Sheri S. Tepper, who befriends and does magical favors for the titular character. Our “green hills by the sea” are green for good reason! The Isle of Man is blessed with high rainfall and a sophisticated supply of pristine, soft water ideal for 'mashing'. Rogers, P. E. (2015), "Transcription of Vocabulary from: The Outlines of the Phonology of Manx Gaelic - J Rhys 1894" 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.

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.

Weeks went by, until one evening Udereek explained to Kitty that the next night was to be the “Royal Festival of the Harvest Moon” in Glen Rushen and that it was decreed that all Elfin kind were to attend the festivities until the moon had set over South Barrule. Kitty teased Udereek, suggesting he would have such a good time at the ball that he would forget all about her and instead be seduced by a beautiful fairy maiden. Affronted, Udereek insisted this could never happen... To prove how much Kitty meant to him, he would make his escape from the Harvest Festival early (after only three hours had passed), and he would come looking for Kitty as usual under their Blue Rowan Tree. Many years ago... Kitty Kerruish was a young and beautiful girl who lived with her father in a small cottage surrounded by fuchsia bushes up at the top of Glen Auldyn in the North of the Isle of Man. Her father was a tailor and the men of Ramsey would visit the cottage to have their suits made for them. Even though Kitty’s father was not considered the best tailor in the world, he still did good trade as the men would happily trudge up the many miles along the gorse lined footpaths from Ramsey in the hope of getting a glance of the beautiful Kitty Kerruish - and to even make a play for her hand in marriage. Kitty, however, was so devoted to the needs of her father, who was frail and in need of her help, that she turned away her many suitors with the excuse of being unavailable for marriage while her father was still alive. 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.
