Nicknamed the “Granite State” for its majestic White Mountains, including Mount Washington, New Hampshire has stunning scenery with forests, lakes, and a short Atlantic coastline. Rum has a fascinating history here. During the New England colonial era (1680s), Portsmouth was involved in the Triangular Trade, importing molasses and rum, but not establishing sugarcane plantations. During the Prohibition era, New Hampshire’s location near Canada made it a prime route for rum runners. In 2013, craft rum distilling took root in New Hampshire. So, you can try a New Hampshire rum on your next vacation there.
