The Spirit of Bruce Christopher – Honey Spiced Rum

Bruce was the third generation of the Christopher family to work Boro Farm on Tresco. Fishing off the North End, tending his flowers and cattle, rowing his beloved gig Czar or on a Coastguard shout, islanders knew a man as warm as the honey of the bees he kept.

This rum mimics that gentle spirit of sea and land into SC Dogs Honey Spiced Rum. At the first and only rum distillery on the Isles of Scilly, using pure Scillonian water and local ingredients grown on the island.

Handcrafted in small batches, aged and bottled on the farm, the lingering citrus notes of SC Dogs Honey Spiced Rum are balanced by just a hint of Tresco honey. Enjoy on its own, over ice or with your favourite mixer.

Here’s to the honest strength of Bruce Christopher (1949-2013) coastguard, farmer, rower and SC Dog.

The Spirit of Capt’n Stevens – Vodka

Nearly a century ago Capt’n Stevens was born into the largest farming and fishing family on St. Martins, Isles of Scilly. Music and laughter followed Capt’n wherever he went. His sea shanties helped the winning gig Dolphin keep stroke. And after he married a Penzance girl and moved there Capt’n carried on singing, in the famous Mousehole Male Voice Choir.

Today, at the first and only distillery on St. Martins, the cheerful spirit of Capt’n Stevens has been infused into SC Dogs Vodka. Crafted in small batches using a double distillation process and bottled on the farm, SC Dogs Vodka is an authentically pure, clean spirit with a tang of the sea.

Each bottle is dedicated to the history of one the Isle of Scilly’s own sea dogs.

The Spirit of William Gibson – Gold Rum

Many a ship navigating the treacherous waters around the Isles of Scilly in the 1800s owed safe passage to the Master of the St. Martin’s pilot cutter. The son of a smuggler, William Gibson and his crew would put to sea whatever the weather. Their cutter the ‘Queen II’ now lies under the sand on Par beach, sometimes laid bare by big winter storms.

Like so many Scillonian sea dogs William was a hard-working farmer too. The land he farmed still provides the ingredients for SC Dogs rum, handcrafted in small batches using pure Scillonian water, aged and bottled at the first and only rum distillery on the Isles of Scilly.

SC Dogs Gold Rum glows with a rich, full-bodied yet complex smoothness. Enjoy on its own, over ice or with your favourite mixer.

Here’s to the selfless spirit of William Gibson (1839-1926) master mariner, farmer and SC Dog.
