United States > Pennsylvania
The Keystone State has a central role in the founding of the U.S., Pennsylvania has a rich history and stunning landscapes. While rye may reign supreme, rum has made its mark here. Established in 1753, the oldest distillery in Pennsylvania sparked a long tradition of spirits production. The Whiskey Rebellion (1794) saw some distillers move on, but Pennsylvania’s spirit couldn’t be dampened. By the 1800s, over 3,000 distilleries flourished here. Prohibition brought a detour. Pennsylvania’s waterways and intricate landscape became a strategic advantage for rum runners in the 1920s. In 1996, a West Chester distillery became a modern rum pioneer.
