Hey there, Lowcountry neighbors! Grab a glass and settle in, because today we’re taking a quick trip back in time. Long before North Charleston became the bustling hub it is today, the nearby historic Port of Charleston was practically running on one thing: rum.
Back in the 1700s, rum was more than just a tasty spirit—it was the lifeblood of the Atlantic trade. Caribbean rum flooded into our local ports, becoming the ultimate reward for weary sailors and a staple in every local tavern. Sailors swore by it (and sometimes because of it!) because it survived long sea voyages much better than water or beer. It didn't take long for the Lowcountry to fall head over heels for this vibrant, sugarcane spirit.
Fast forward to today, and our love affair with rum hasn't waned a bit. Whether you're mixing up a classic Dark 'n Stormy for a backyard porch party or sipping a high-quality aged rum neat, that rich history is baked right into our coastal lifestyle.
