United States > Colorado
Nicknamed the “Centennial State” for entering the Union in 1876, Colorado is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts. Towering Rocky Mountains, vast ski resorts, and charming towns amidst breathtaking scenery make it a dream destination. While its cool, high-altitude climate isn’t ideal for sugarcane, Colorado has developed a thriving rum scene. The 1859 Gold Rush brought miners and distillers, and interestingly, sugar beet production began in 1899. Prohibition halted distilling, but in 2008, a pioneering distiller introduced Colorado Mountain Rum. Explore Denver’s craft distillery scene or add a rum tasting to your next high-altitude adventure for a memorable Colorado vacation.
