Proposed Baton Rouge rum distillery making progress

First announced in 2013, Cane Land Distilling Company is finally making progress, with the city-parish approving construction permits for the company, according to the Greater Baton Rouge Business Report.

Cane Land will produce rum made from molasses and cane juice. The company will be located on St. Phillip Street near the 13th Gate and is planning to be in operation by late September or early October.
