Destilerías Arehucas

Arehucas is a rum distillery in Arucas, Gran Canaria, specialized in producing high-quality spirits. The facility includes fermentation areas, distillation sections, and storage spaces for aging the liquor before bottling and distribution.

The distillery was established in 1884 and later gained recognition as a royal supplier. Over the decades, it became one of the leading rum producers in the Canary Islands.

The name Arehucas comes from the Guanche language and means "place of water," reflecting water's importance in rum production. The distillery is woven into local identity and represents the craft tradition of the Canary Islands.

Visitors can explore the facility on weekdays, with guided tours available through production areas. Comfortable shoes are recommended, and it's best to allow sufficient time to see all sections of the site.

The distillery preserves traditional production methods that have remained largely unchanged since its founding, maintaining the original character of its rum brands. This makes it a living example of historical distillation techniques rarely found in modern production settings.
