Total Rum Exports in 2022: $182.07 million

While American craft beer and whiskey gobbled up most of the headlines over the last several years, rum – the spirit that first captured the nation’s heart centuries ago – has quietly reingratiated itself to a growing number of distillers. For the first time since the eighteenth century, you can once again find hundreds of distilleries producing rum across the United States.

The American craft rum industry has experienced significant growth as more and more people discover these artisanal distillers’ unique and high-quality offerings. As a result, the American rum exports also witnessed a 21.8% YoY growth in 2022.
