United States > Nebraska

Nicknamed the “Cornhusker State” for its golden fields and iconic landmark Chimney Rock, Nebraska offers a taste of the Great Plains. This windswept climate isn’t suited for sugarcane, but rum has had a surprising recent revival. Prohibition here in 1917 saw the rise of legendary bootlegger “Queen Louise” Louise Vinciquerra, a testament to Nebraskans’ resourcefulness. Then the harsh Dust Bowl storms of the 1930s, and Nebraska’s landscape faced a different kind of challenge. However, resilience is in the state’s spirit. In 2013, just three years after the first distillery opened, Nebraska revived rum production. Explore Nebraska’s rum on your next adventure.
