Nicknamed the “Pine Tree State” for its majestic forests and Acadia National Park’s stunning beauty, Maine offers a taste of adventure. Rugged coastline and a cool climate may not be ideal for sugarcane, but rum has a fascinating history here. Early colonists traded for rum in the 1630s, and during Prohibition, Maine’s location made it a smuggling hub for Canadian rum. Fast forward to 2014, and a craft distillery revived rum production in Maine. Explore Maine’s craft distilleries or discover its modern take on rum on your next coastal escape.
