Outlier Distillery in Andreas has been making a special rum to light up your Christmas pud.

It’s called Putrodleum and it’s a 55% ABV overproof rum that has been fermented and distilled on island.

Distiller Ian Warborn-Jones said: ’Pudtroleum gives your Christmas pudding the day it deserves with a big flame and a rounded rum finish.

’And, yes, you can just drink it.’

Ian and his partner Rick Dacey have even put a helpful video on the Outlier Distillery Facebook page, showing you how to light your Christmas pud without setting either your eyebrows or the house on fire.

Pudtroleum is available from Bottle Monkey, who are open all the way through to the end of Christmas Eve, price £8. www.bottlemonkey.im.
