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'.
