Fortress™ Rum restores the 300-year history of the New France rum trade and is created by patiently maturing our select Caribbean rum in oak barrels protected behind the massive stonewalls of the Fortress of Louisbourg National Historic Site in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. The result is 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.
