Rum Guide to Indiana

Named the Hoosier State where Abraham Lincoln grew up and the Sugar cream pie tastes good, Indiana has more than racing at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Rolling farmland stretches towards the Great Lakes, while limestone quarries provide the perfect material for crafting bourbon barrels. While sugarcane farming wasn’t a long-term success story, Indiana rum has endured. The state’s first distillery opened in 1847, and Prohibition-era rum-running thrived along the Ohio River. Today, rum production is back. Established in 2012, an Indianapolis distillery revived the rum-making tradition.
