Halifax, Nova Scotia
What We Make
Each bottle starts with place — the salt air, the patience, the particular character of a maritime distillery.
Lure & Drum Single Malt
5 Year Old
46%
Ex-Bourbon American Oak
Our flagship. Five years in ex-bourbon American oak, matured in a warehouse where the Atlantic air does what it does without being asked. The result is a whiskey with vanilla warmth at its core and a finish that carries something cooler — sea salt, dry grass, a hint of green apple. This is where we started, and it still tells the truest story of what we're trying to do here in Halifax.
The Drumlin
8 Year Old
48%
Oloroso Sherry Cask
Eight years is a long time to wait for something. We think it was worth it. The Drumlin spent its maturation in oloroso sherry casks, drawing in dried fig, dark chocolate, and a low, slow sweetness that builds rather than announces itself. The maritime air pulls back against the richness — there's a tension there that Andrew, Matt, and Richard consider their favourite thing about this particular bottle.
Harbour Edge
10 Year Old
50%
French Oak & Ex-Bourbon Finish
A decade in Halifax weather leaves a mark. Harbour Edge opens with toasted oak and beeswax, moves through a mid-palate of stone fruit and warm spice, and finishes long and dry — cedar, a flicker of peat, something the three of us argue about every time we taste it. Bottled at 50% to keep the texture honest. This one rewards those who take their time with it.

We don't sell direct — but Lure & Drum is available at select provincial liquor stores across Nova Scotia. Ask for it by name. If your local store doesn't carry it yet, they can often order it in. Worth the ask.
