Dehner Distillery, Clive, IA

History

For hundreds of years cigars and liquor have gone hand in hand. In Burlington, Iowa in 1872 Andy Dehner started "Andy Dehner's Cigar Company". One of his greatest handmade cigars with tobacco sourced from Cuba was called "Havana Judge". It was said Andy's factory store was a rendezvous for the men about the town, and that a couple barrels of rum may have helped fuel the conversations. To honor my family's entrepreneurial spirit, I have made it my mission to create a line of rums worthy of his approval. So sip some "Havana Judge Rum" and the the conversations begin.
