United States > Nevada

Nicknamed the “Silver State” for its rich mining history, Nevada has more than the Las Vegas Strip. The vast Great Basin and Mojave Deserts display stunning landscapes, but sugarcane cultivation isn’t one of them. However, Nevada’s rum connection is anything but dry. Founded in 1848, the “Battle Born State” boomed with the 1849 gold rush. In the Prohibition era, Nevada’s proximity to California made it a hotspot for rum runners. Nevada’s thirst for rum continued when a distillery opened in 2018, bringing a taste of the Caribbean to the desert.
