About this Event

Go behind the scenes at the historic Halifax Citadel to discover the holiday traditions of the British Military and how they raised their spirits!

Experience Highlights
  • After-hours access to Halifax Citadel National Historic Site, a restored 19th-century British fortification with stunning views of Halifax.
  • A 78th Highlander shares holiday traditions and stories of how alcohol was used in the British military; both a blessing and a curse – depending on who you ask!
  • Enjoy a guided tasting of three unique spirits created exclusively for the Halifax Citadel Society by award-winning Compass Distillers: Daily Ration Rum, Noon Gun Gin, and Granite & Grain Whisky.
  • Embrace the holidays with a sample of Compass' Spiced Rum paired with a sweet treat – perfect for the holidays!
