Malabusca fine drops with character - Like a rum from Alicante the world stage conquered

Regional top quality from Alcoy on the Costa Blanca.

The London Spirits Competition 2025 was a complete success for Ron Malabusca Estilo Español: two gold medals and the title of „Best Spanish Spirit of the Year“ went to the brand from Alicante. A rum from the province - handmade, honest, uncompromising.

Clear philosophy, Great flavour
Since 2016, Malabusca has focused on limited output, clean ingredients and transparent processes - without colourings or artificial ageing. Production takes place in Alcoy, the base rums come from the Caribbean and are refined in Spain. The reward: 97 and 96 points from the London jury, which assessed flavour, design and quality.

From gin to rum - with system
The rum success is part of a well thought-out development. Malabusca began with a multi-award-winning gin and later added vodka and rum. Today, the bottles can be found in cocktail bars, restaurants and on export lists from Germany to the Caribbean.

More than just a drink
For co-founder Santiago Hernández, one thing is clear: „We don't strive for quantity, but for emotion and quality in every glass.“ And they succeed. Based on the Costa Blanca, Malabusca has established itself as a major player in the premium segment - and shows that world class doesn't have to be loud. Just good.
