Nicknamed the “Corn State” for its golden fields, Iowa offers a taste of Americana. Baseball dreams take flight at the Field of Dreams site while rolling hills and vast prairies stretch across the landscape. Sugarcane didn’t thrive here, but rum has taken root. A short-lived sugarcane experiment in 1816 paved the way for a more recent development. In 2005, a forward-thinking distillery opened its doors, and in 2011, Iowa’s first rum hit the shelves. Explore Iowa’s craft distillery scene and discover its rum on your next adventure to the heartland.
