The Fort Distillery Wins Big at Startup TNT’s Summit X

The Fort Distillery is excited to share that we’ve emerged as the winner of Startup TNT’s Summit X, held on November 14 at the Alberta Machine Intelligence Institute! This achievement highlights our commitment to creating world-class spirits and seizing incredible opportunities for growth.

 

Our founder and CEO, Nathan Flim, presented a compelling pitch to the judges, focusing on three key areas:
– Expanding retail distribution across North America
– Forging partnerships with esteemed companies like Porter Airlines and Fairmont Hotels
– Growing brand representation for Mountain Pass Whisky and Tumbler & Rocks cocktails

 

Reflecting on the experience, our CEO Nathan shared, “Selling booze is fun, but building a data room? Even funner!”

 

Our Distillery, founded in Fort Saskatchewan in 2018, has been crafting premium whisky, spirits, and pre-mixed cocktails using locally sourced ingredients. This year, our Mountain Pass Whisky was named Canadian Artisan Spirit of the Year, a testament to our dedication to quality and innovation.

 

Startup TNT’s Summit X celebrated incredible founders and ideas, with pitches ranging from healthcare technology to advanced manufacturing. It was an honor to stand alongside such talented entrepreneurs in this vibrant community.

 

We’re deeply grateful for this recognition and the support of Startup TNT. Stay tuned as we continue to push boundaries and deliver exceptional products to our customers.

Cheers to what’s ahead!
