CA 100%

Nova Scotia's Registry of Joint Stock Companies lists NOVA SCOTIA SPIRIT CO. as an active business name (4694291, registered 2025-03-17) whose owner since 2025-09-16 is 4721613 Nova Scotia Limited, a limited company incorporated 2025-06-06 at 65 Harbour Drive, Edwardsville, NS, with Shannon Lynch as director and president and James Chisholm as VP-Finance and secretary; the sister brand Annapolis Cider Company is owned by 4721616 Nova Scotia Limited at the same address. The registry shows the corporate chain and Nova Scotia officers but not who holds the numbered company's shares, and neither the vendor's site nor any press found explains the 2025 change of owner, so the all-Canadian mix rests on the registry's officer records and madeinca.ca's Canadian-owned listing. Corporations Canada returned zero federal results for the name, and no other registry could be checked.

The vendor's FAQ places its main production warehouse in Stellarton, Nova Scotia, the vodka page says Blue Lobster Vodka is crafted in Pictou County, and the 2017 NSLC year-end figures reported by Huddle count Blue Lobster Vodka as the top-selling Nova Scotia spirit. The rum page says Fisherman's Helper is aged two years in Caribbean oak barrels before being blended and bottled in Pictou County, which reads as imported aged rum finished in Nova Scotia, so a small share is placed outside Canada; the split by product line is an estimate, not a published figure.

The vendor says its vodka is made from a 100% corn base and that its fruit-flavoured vodka sodas use local fruit, but it does not say whether it distills the corn spirit itself or buys neutral spirit, nor where its glass, cans, or gin botanicals come from. The rum is aged in Caribbean barrels, gin botanicals such as juniper, cardamom, and licorice root are imported by nature, and North American grain spirit and packaging are the likely remaining inputs, so this split is an estimate. The storefront runs on Shopify, a Canadian platform, and direct sales are not the only channel.
