United States > Delaware

Nicknamed the “Diamond State” for its small size and big economic impact, Delaware has scenic coastlines, historic charm, and natural beauty. While its temperate climate isn’t ideal for sugarcane, Delaware has a surprising rum history. Once the third-largest rum producer in the 1750s, the state fell silent during Prohibition. However, in the 1920s, Delaware’s location made it a notorious hub for rumrunners supplying speakeasies. Today, a craft distillery established in 2015 has revived rum production, offering a taste of history for curious visitors.
