Horchata, Grown Up in Wisconsin
RumChata — rum plus horchata — was created in 2009 in Pewaukee, Wisconsin, where founder Tom Maas set out to bottle the cinnamon-and-vanilla rice-milk drink he loved, with rum in it. The brand has been owned by E. & J. Gallo since April 2021, with production continuing in Pewaukee. Wine Enthusiast scored it 90 points in August 2013, noting its almondy, spiced aroma and thick, velvety, eggnog-like texture. Pour it from our liqueurs shelf, pair it with the rum collection, or see the brand on the RumChata vendor page.
