John Kelly's dictionary has suggested an alternate etymology, stemming from fenney, 'invaders, wild Irish'. [13] The term has also been used in the sense of "satyr" in the 1819 Manx translation of the Bible (Isaiah 34:14) by Kelly. [6] General description [ edit ] Rhys, John (1901), "Chapter IV: Manx Folklore", Celtic folklore: Welsh and Manx, Oxford: Clarendon Press, vol.1, pp.284–53, ISBN 9780384506107 The Fynoderee Distillery Tour Duration: 1.5 hours Step “behind the scenes” for an engaging tour and tasting at The Fynoderee Distillery, home of the Spirits of Mann. 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 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. 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. 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] Accessibility: We are very sorry that our premises are not currently fully wheelchair accessible, and our standard tours will commence on the Mezzanine (first floor) of The Fyn Bar. We can make private arrangements for an accessible tour if needed, however, please note our bathroom facilities are not wheelchair accessible.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. 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. Once upon a time there was a little juniper bush, the very last of its kind on the Isle of Man. It lived up high at the top Glen Auldyn in the north of the Island where it was discovered and well-meaningly transplanted to the Milntown Estate at the bottom of the glen, where very sadly it didn’t survive. 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.

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.
