Distillery donates charity rum to all RNLI stations

An Isle of Man distillery will be donating a special rum to all 238 RNLI lifeboat stations in the British Isles in order for them to be auctioned to raise funds.

The Fynoderee distillery is creating a limited edition spirit as part of a coastal range to mark the charity's 200th anniversary next year.

The rum is currently locked away in the Tower of Refuge in Douglas on the Isle to mature, and was transported there from Ramsey via tram and horse tram. 

The distillery says two bottles of Refuge Manx Rum will be donated to every RNLI lifeboat station to help generate further funds for the charity. 

Distillery Co-founder Tiffany Kerruish explained the origins of the new RNLI Edition:

“The idea to produce commemorative spirits came from members of RNLI Ramsey, our local lifeboat station.

"We recognised the unique provenance and potential to not only generate substantial funds for the RNLI for the historic anniversary, but also to provide the perfect tipples for raising a glass to all those who have saved lives at sea over the generations.”
