Transcript

00:00 I'm here with Ian Walden-Jones from Outlier Distillery who have won the Food and Drink

00:07 Award here and Finley MacLeod from the Creamery who are our sponsoring partner for this award.

00:13 Now Outlier Distillery is a proper artisan business isn't it? Yes, very much so. It's a

00:22 craft distillery where everything is produced from absolute scratch. Do you want to explain

00:27 a bit about that? We produce everything from scratch by hand on very small equipment which

00:33 is entirely heated by wood. It is a laborious process but the product is good. I mean every

00:40 working day begins like a middle class round boy montage with our chopping blocks in the cold.

00:45 Wow, yeah so but nothing about the Iron Man speaks rum to me, it doesn't shout it at me,

00:52 so what makes it uniquely Manx here on the run? So I mean all the water we use is from the Lentrench,

00:57 we don't use anybody else's alcohol, all of the fermentation is done in Andrus on Ballaculli Farm

01:03 by me. I'm not from the island but I love living here so I don't think we can lay claim to the

01:11 heritage that other businesses here might but I think we try and do service to the experience

01:18 that we have here and certainly we think we're trying to do as much as we can to get the Iron

01:25 Man brand out there. Yeah and you've actually picked up a couple of other awards recently

01:30 haven't you? Yeah we won a great taste with Hurricane which is our overproof rum. Is that

01:36 the one that blew Alan Titchmarcher away? Kicks like a Suffolk punch! That's wonderful, well done.

01:44 Thank you very much.

01:45 Thank you.
