DropZone brewery founder Sean Crawford said: ‘We’re all about supporting the veteran community here at DropZone and we’re looking to continue that theme with Valkyrie Rum. It’s well and truly a top-shelf drink, so other than maybe a drop of water, there’s no need to mix it. It’s been created in partnership with Manchester-based The Finest Honey, a beekeeper collective that sells surplus honey and sources honey from rescue bees.

It’s great to partner with The Finest Honey, too – it’s a fantastic organisation that sells surplus honey from a range of regional producers, and the link-up is testimony to how we work in Manchester and Salford – collaboratively and for the greater good. Their employers have been 'very understanding', Tommy said, but when asked if the business would ever become a full-time job, he said,'maybe in the future.' The name Valkyrie comes from Norse mythology, and these myths and legends have long-standing ties with military and naval traditions. We wanted to craft our rum to honour the men and women who have made the ultimate sacrifice, marking the bravery and heroism of all those who answer the call of duty to serve."Whether you’re looking for the perfect rum for a summer picnic or fancy rustling up a batch of rum punch ice lollies for sunnier spells, we've got every occasion and budget covered.
