About
Manx Menu Drink Product of the Year: Refuge Manx Rum
Barrel aged for over a year at sea within the storm-lashed stone walls of the iconic Tower of Refuge, our RNLI fundraising rum commemorates 200 years since the formation of the charity here on the Isle of Man and is the grand finale of our 'Spirits Partnership' with the RNLI.
Refuge Manx Rum was launched in October 2024 at the RNLI 200 Gala dinner where 'Bottle 1' was auctioned and raised £1,350 for the charity. The full batch is now for sale with 20% of the proceeds of each sale going to the RNLI.
Refuge Manx Rum has received widespread coverage across the UK in the media and is not only shining a light on the Manx origins of the charity but also providing the perfect tot for toasting all those who bravely save lives at sea.
Proudly fermented and distilled by our team at the Fynoderee Distillery in Ramsey from organic Fairtrade Colombian panela, Refuge Manx Rum features notes of toasted oak, vanilla, salted caramel and bourbon.
Refuge Manx Rum can be enjoyed 'sipped neat' over ice or mixed to make delicious cocktails. Our favourite is The Refuge Rum Old Fashioned - as enjoyed by His Excellency the Lieutenant Governor and guests on a trip out to 'Dip the Barrels' on Consister Rock last autumn.
Refuge Manx Rum is presented in a beautiful solid wood box with a commemorative booklet and a 'flitter' shell from the beach of Conister rock.
Where to Purchase:
