United States > New Mexico

Named the Land of Enchantment for its captivating beauty, New Mexico has otherworldly landscapes – deserts, high plains, and mountains found in White Sands National Park. While it’s too arid a climate for sugarcane, rum has found a surprising niche here. Founded in 1598, New Mexico is one of the oldest European settlements in the U.S., with Spanish influences evident in its culture. Fast forward to 2012, and a distillery in Albuquerque kickstarted the recent rum scene. New Mexico’s craft rums are often infused with local flavors.
