About The Rum Geography https://rumgeography.com/
The Rum Geography, a UK-registered business headquartered in Glasgow, Scotland, started in 2023. A team of tech and rum specialists are on a mission to make the rum landscape more accessible and support the burgeoning rum category.
The Rum Geography is driven by two key inspirations. The first is a desire to reunite rum with its diverse geographical roots. Second, the founder recognised the success of whisky, which has benefited from a well-established, map-based approach. Despite its incredible global diversity, rum has remained largely unexplored. The Rum Geography completely changes this.
Rum producing countries have invested heavily in recent years visitor attraction upgrades. The USA with the most rum producers (over 500) has recent figures showing overall distillery tourism is on the rise; Tourism Economics research found the total economic impact of distillery tourism generated US$715.2 million in Texas, US$546.4 million in New York, US$417.8 million in California.
