History

The plant began operating in 1895 in Jubrique. A beautiful village nestled in Malaga Genal Valley. At this time Mr. Diego Ruiz Romero, founder and owner of one of the many existing stills in the town, began distilling grape juice extracted in this way to get the liquor.

In the mid 60s, with great enthusiasm and many sacrifices were determined to leave Jubrique and seek a more suitable location for the plant, in order to achieve the optimum development of the activity.

In 1969, the industry moved to Ronda, the capital of the highlands, since then staying in the same place. Once there the range of processed products also grew producing gin, brandy, fruit liqueurs and alcoholic expanded.

In the early 70s the brothers Ruiz Iborra are engaged in expanding areas of sales, so they have to create a network of dealers who in the late 80s occupied almost all of Andalucia. Subsequently, Ceuta and Melilla and into their 90s and exports were made outside the European Union.
