Destilería Museo de Anís Machaquito

Industrial Tourism:

Visits guided and self guided to the oldest distillery in Spain.

In 1960 Rafael Reyes Rodríguez embarks on a history of success that today reaches the 5th generation of the family. While it is in 1876 when officially was founded the prestigious distillery “Machaquito”, which owes its name to the famous bullfighter Rafael Reyes González.

How do we do it?:

Come and will see fire boilers with two tons of wood heating 4 giants and ancient copper stills that exude the mix of water, with certified quality beet alcohol, in cycles of 24h, from the north of France, and aniseed green grown exclusively for Machaquito in the fertile lands from Archidona to Ronda, to produce the inimitable Rute aniseed.

In the ship of maceration, herbs, acorns, cherries and coffee permeate an aniseed base to get liquor soft, so natural and delicious as you would do at home.
The bottling room prepares, the rate of 2,800 units/hour, the elixir of life to supply the most prestigious liquor stores.

We propose a dive of experiences which will activate your senses and make you travel from the history to the forefront of the prestigious most Distillery of Rute.
