While Spain is widely acknowledged for its esteemed wines, the country also offers a little-known tradition of rum production, particularly in the Canary Islands. Historically, the sugarcane production in this region has fostered the growth of local distilleries, taking advantage of the warm and sunny climate of the islands to create rich and complex spirits.

The Canary Islands, owing to their unique geographical position, benefit from a distinct terroir that influences the unique character of their rums. These rums are characterised by deep aromas of caramel and vanilla due to the ageing technique, often carried out in oak barrels. Local producers cultivate expertise that rivals Caribbean traditions by introducing a touch of authentically Spanish flavours.

In mainland Spain, although less common, rum production continues to evolve towards more contemporary and diversified expressions, with increased attention to innovative distillation techniques, while remaining faithful to artisanal methods. This duality between tradition and innovation allows Spain to stand out in the rum world.
