Ron Aldea

The Canary Islands are fantastic as a holiday destination and much more, but very few people know that really good rum is also produced here.
It is a fantastic quality you will experience and a slightly different aromatic rum in the sweet style.

The company is in the Canary Islands, with headquarters on La Palma and there is a distillery in San Nicolas on Gran Canaria. The characteristic of Ron Aldea is that the work is very traditional. This means that the vast majority is done with the use of "old-fashioned" methods. Much of the production is done by hand, as in the opinion of José Manuel Quevedo Hernandez (owner and master ronero), this gives the best control over the process and thus ensures the quality of the finished rum.

The family:

The distillery started production in 1936 and is now run by the 4th and 5th generation of the Quevedo family at the helm. The current head José Manuel Quevedo Hernandez took over from his father in 1969. He has preserved the proud traditions in the best possible way.

The traditional methods and the understanding of good craftsmanship mean that all Aldea's rums are produced directly from fresh sugar cane rather than molasses. This in turn means that the rum retains the pure taste and aroma of sweet sugar cane.
Ron Aldea uses both copper stills and column distillation. This provides good opportunities to find the right mix in the final products.
