Destilerías Arehucas is a Spanish rum distillery, located in the town of Aruca on the Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. It was originally established as a sugar mill called La Fábrica de San Pedro in 1884, but quickly gained a reputation for the quality of the sugar cane distillates and rum it produced.
The distillery was renamed Destilerías Arehucas in 1965 following the success of its rum brand of the same name. In addition to it, the distillery also produces the Capitan Kidd brand alongside a range of gin and liqueurs.
The Ron Arehucas brand was introduced in 1940 while the distillery was under the management of Alfredo Martín Reyes. It quickly became hugely popular in Spain and was affectionately known as el de las llaves - meaning "the one with the keys" - in reference to the image of San Pedro used on the label.
Today the range is available in its flagship Carta Oro and Carta Blanca expressions, as well as in 7- and 18-year-old age statements.
