The Story of Nelsons Blood
Remember that even before his death at Trafalgar, Nelson was already a national hero and had won great sea battles at Cape St Vincent and The Nile. Then came Trafalgar, the greatest sea battle of all time involving both the Spanish and French fleets as allies against the British.
Victorious he was, but gave
his life in the battle. His body must be returned to England for a great State
Funeral. This involved a long sea passage and less than favourable winds but
how could this be achieved???
This is where the story really
begins!!!
To preserve his body, it was
submerged and pickled in a cask of Brandy. Nelson was much loved, and his courage,
skill and gallantry so admired by his crew, that during the dark hours they
would creep out and drink from the cask containing his body, praying they would
inherit some of his traits.
Today at Nelsons Local we make
our own brew of Nelsons Blood
®™
to a secret recipe. It is sold by the tot in the pub or by the bottle to take
away.
We do not promise you will inherit Nelson's great qualities, but there is a every chance that on a good night out in Nelsons Local you will get 'pickled'.
