The name of our com­pany is derived from naut­ical ter­min­o­logy and cus­tom. A main­brace is the line with pul­ley used to hoist the main­sail of the sort of wooden sail­ing ship tra­di­tional to Atlantic Canadian waters.

The term “spli­cing the main­brace” refers to the Royal Navy cus­tom of reward­ing a ship’s crew for a job par­tic­u­larly well done by serving every­one an extra tot of rum. To do this, the Captain gave the order, “Splice the Mainbrace!”

As a bever­age alco­hol agency in Atlantic Canada which is com­mit­ted to doing the job par­tic­u­larly well for our cli­ents around the world, what could be more nat­ural than to asso­ci­ate ourselves with the notion of Splicing the Mainbrace?
