Alberta's Untold Story of Rum Running

Romero Rum is built on a rich and mostly untold history of rum running during Prohibition from the Blairmore Hotel in the Crowsnest Pass through the mountain passes of Alberta, B.C. and the U.S. Pacific Northwest.

Our Story

Continuing The Tradition

Although Romero Distilling Co. stays on the right side of the law, we do continue one of Emilio's traditions of giving back to our local community through staff volunteer efforts and ongoing contributions to local charities.

Our premium rums are exceptional and truly Canadian.
