United States > Oklahoma

Nicknamed the “Sooner State” for its early settlers, Oklahoma has the Great Plains – from rolling prairies to sparkling lakes. While the semi-arid climate isn’t suited to sugarcane, rum is made here. The Dust Bowl devastated agriculture in the 1930s, but Oklahoma’s resourceful spirit persevered. The Ozark Highlands provide oak, perfect for bourbon barrels and rum ageing, hinting at a future connection. In 2011, Oklahoma’s rum scene came alive, and a distillery ignited the revival. Explore Oklahoma’s craft distilleries and taste a Sooner State rum.
