Rum Guide to New Jersey 

Named the Garden State for its diverse landscape, New Jersey is known for its iconic Atlantic City Boardwalk. Rolling mountains transition to coastal plains and pine barrens, creating a unique ecosystem. While sugarcane doesn’t thrive here, rum has a rich history in New Jersey. Colonial trading ports (1702) bustled with molasses and rum imports, showcasing the state’s early connection to this spirit.
