Historical
Although today the name Larios is primarily associated with gin, the company historically produced a much wider range of spirits, including brandies, liqueurs and rum. Founded in Málaga during the 19th century, Larios became one of Spain’s most important spirits producers and played a major role in the development of the country’s beverage industry.
During the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s, Spanish distillers marketed several domestic rum brands intended both for traditional consumption and for mixed drinks. Among them, Larios Ron Blanco Superior represented the house’s interpretation of a light white rum, produced according to the tastes of the period and distributed mainly within the Spanish market.
The reference on the label to raw materials obtained on the Costa del Sol reflects an era when producers often emphasized local sourcing and regional identity. Such details provide valuable insight into Spain’s post-war spirits industry and the evolution of rum production outside the Caribbean.
Today, surviving bottles of Larios Ron Blanco Superior are rarely encountered, particularly in sealed condition. They are increasingly appreciated by collectors of Spanish spirits, vintage rum enthusiasts and those interested in the history of historic Málaga producers.
