The Canary Islands, located off the northwest coast of Africa, are an autonomous region of Spain with a rich tradition of rum production. Thanks to their subtropical climate, the Canaries enjoy ideal conditions for growing sugar cane, the key ingredient of rum. This production dates back to the 15th century, when Spanish settlers introduced sugar cane cultivation to the islands. Over the centuries, distillation techniques have been refined, allowing Canarian rum makers to develop unique flavours that distinguish their products from other regions. Rums from the Canaries are often characterised by their natural sweetness and fruity notes, derived from the volcanic soil and marine influence. Among the most renowned distilleries are Ron Arehucas and Ron Aldea, which continue the tradition by combining artisanal craftsmanship with innovation. For rum enthusiasts exploring cellar management, the Canary Islands offer a range of authentic rums that will enrich any collection, highlighting the richness and diversity of Spanish production.
