Our Story

When you feel like you're stuck in one place, adjust your sails to find the wind.

Martin, the soul of the product

Martin is not just a founder. He is the captain of the Captain Marty’s spirit, the CEO and co-founder of Spiritus Africa Inc., and its parent company, The Canadian Drinks.

He embodies the vision, passion, and human drive behind the brand.

But above all, Martin is not a man of “I.”

He is a man of “we.”

Attentive, deeply human, generous with trust and attention.

Those who know him well, like Ludovic, even affectionately call him “Mother Teresa.

Ludovic Claude Mbany, visionary cofounder of Spiritus Africa Inc.

Ludovic Claude Mbany, is the man behind the creation of Captain Marty’s Rye Whisky, an exceptional Canadian spirit aged for more than six years.

Born from the union of family tradition and the pursuit of contemporary excellence, Captain Marty’s embodies a promise — that of a whisky with noble, generous, and authentic character, crafted to accompany both grand occasions and simple moments of sharing.

True to his commitment to quality, Ludovic turns every bottle into a symbol of pride, refinement, and mastered tradition. His goal is clear: to offer the world a Canadian whisky that transcends borders, unites cultures, and celebrates the art of living with elegance.
