United States > Texas
Known as the “Lone Star State” for its independent spirit, Texas has diverse landscapes (mountains, deserts, coastlines) and a rich history. Sugarcane thrived in the 1820s, with production peaking in the mid-19th century around Fort Bend and Matagorda Counties, earning the area the nickname “Sugar Bowl.” In Prohibition times, Texas’ rum connection resurfaced. The state’s extensive border with Mexico and the Gulf Coast made it a prime location for rum runners. In 2006, a distillery in San Leon kickstarted a rum revival, adding a new chapter to the Lone Star State’s spirit. Explore Texas’ craft distilleries and discover its rum on your next vacation.
