Fortress Rum

Received this bottle of Fortress Rum as a birthday gift from my daughter from Nova Scotia. To my knowledge the rum originates from Jamaica but is bottled in Nova Scotia and the Fortress on the label is that of the “Louisbourg Fortress” in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. I must say that the bottle presentation and label are “First Class” are very appealing.

My first impression from the nose was disappointing in that I did not detect much other than a faint smell of molasses. My first sip was also reminded me that this rum is very young and hasn’t had the opportunity to age for any length of time yet it is much better than many young rums I have sampled. The more I sipped on this rum, the more I enjoyed the experience. Fortress Rum is by no means on par with many aged rums that I keep on hand but nevertheless is very enjoyable.

I would rate the rum itself a 7 BUT must admit the presentation warrants an extra point, therefore an 8 it is. Well Done. 👍

Once it breathes it has a nice oak and sweet smell. An easy sipping rum on ice. Very affordable.

A nice Rum to sip and relax on a porch swing.
It will not blow you away with flavor but it will surprise you once you realize how far North this Rum originates from.

Being from NS we haven't had a number of great local rums until now. Over the last 2-3 years there have been some great local rums being produced here at home that rival the big boys. Great taste, like the other rater said, rough on the initial sip, but once it breathes it's much better.

Delightful, sweet vanilla on the nose. Nice hit of caramel but lacks a rich lingering aftertaste.

It's a good rum but a bit too strong (45% alcohol) even when you let it breath. Nice vanilla and caramel flavor along with a strong oak flavor, but I found that it's a bit too strong to really appreciate all the flavors and the final.

Rhum qui a bon goût en dégustation. Il a une finale très alcoolisé mais il a bon goût en bouche.

My expectations were low as I haven't come across many Canadian sipping rums, but this has to be up there with the best of them. It's not as smooth as some of the high-end sippers, possibly as a result of the higher alcohol content, but it makes up for that with a very complex and enjoyable flavour.

It's an excellent choice if you're looking to buy Canadian.

Bought it to support a Canadian product was surprised by the quality but you can find better elsewhere for the same price: Nicaragua, haiti.

Au nez on sent le gâteau, au goût on est dans les bois ( érable, chêne ) avec une touche épicer et fort 45%
