DECEMBER 7: Authentic Seacoast’s Fortress Rum and Fortress Rum Cake

‘Tis the season of decadence and delight – the perfect time for Fortress Rum. This award-winning spirit is aged in oak barrels behind the stonewalls of the Fortress of Louisbourg National Historic Site. Delicious notes of fig, vanilla, spice and toasted oak are found year-round, but a perfect complement to holiday get-togethers.

It’s also the season of giving, and the tradition of gifting rum cakes is an East Coast tradition dating back centuries. This moist, rich cake delivers the same balanced and bold flavours as its namesake Fortress Rum.

Like Fortress, your special holiday moments with friends are Worth Protecting.
