Nicknamed the “Peach State,” Georgia’s charm extends from the Appalachian Mountains’ majesty to the Atlantic coast. Georgia’s stunning scenery also has a deep-rooted sugarcane history here. Early colonists established plantations in the 1730s, and by 1816, Georgia had a thriving sugar industry with around 100 plantations. Rum distilleries flourished alongside sugar production. Prohibition halted this tradition, but in 1999, a distillery revived it, producing one of the first American single-estate rums. Today, Georgia offers a truly American rum experience, blending history and modern craft distilling.
