Lithuania, the “Land of Amber,” along the eastern shores of the Baltic Sea, shares a connection to rum with its neighbouring countries. Here, rum has a long history not of production, but of appreciation. Like other Baltic nations, Lithuania has long engaged in trade with the Caribbean, fostering a taste for this exotic spirit. This rich rum history is evident in Kaunas, where a dedicated spirits museum, established in 2009, delves into Lithuania’s rum connection dating back to 1906. Today, Lithuanian rum production remains small, with local producers primarily focusing on bottling Caribbean rum.
