Nicknamed the “Cowboy State” for its wild frontier spirit, Wyoming stuns with dramatic landscapes (Yellowstone, Grand Tetons) and wide-open spaces. While whiskey is popular, rum has a recent connection here. A saloon in Sheridan had its own distillery as early as 1882, hinting at a bygone era. In Prohibition, Wyoming’s vastness (mountains, plains) made it a challenge to control bootlegging and moonshining. In 2014, a distillery in Mills was founded, and by 2016, rum production began.
