They did it for their country. They did it for their King. They did it for the adventure. Three hundred years ago, passion brought courageous souls to explore Canada, and they protected their claim. With stone walls, gates, ramparts, cannons and war. A part of their daily ration, rum helped fuel them and kept their passions alive.
While the cannons have long since silenced, passion still roars here. To bring back a part of our history that should never have been lost. To craft-blend a premium rum in the tradition of the eighteenth century, and mature it in the same place where war once raged. It’s a passion we take very seriously, and we’ll protect it until the end.
Proudly finished in oak barrels at the Fortress of Louisbourg National Historic Site in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, Fortress Rum captures the spirit of the New France rum trade that started here over three centuries ago

A premium, richly-hued overproof amber rum, that delivers aromas of oak, vanilla and tropical fruit. Smooth and well structured, you’ll discover notes of fig, vanilla, spice and toasted oak. A rum to be enjoyed neat, over ice or mixed in a drink that demands a spirit with character, Fortress® Rum brings out our passion for what we deem Worth Protecting. Fortress® Amber Rum has earned several awards over the years, including many at the acclaimed San Francisco World Spirits Competition, including a Silver Medal in 2018, and a Bronze Medal for three consecutive years in 2015, 2016, and 2017
