Larios Gin

Larios is Spain's best-selling gin and one of the driving forces behind the country's massive gin-and-tonic culture. The company was founded in Málaga in 1866, originally as a wine and spirits house, long before gin entered the picture. Today, its Mediterranean citrus profile is so widespread that for many Spaniards it defines the very taste of gin.

About Larios Gin

Larios' Mediterranean-inspired style, with plenty of citrus from Andalusian oranges and lemons, has defined what many Spaniards understand gin to be. For newcomers, it's an easily accessible, citrus-fresh gin, perfect for a simple gin and tonic; for market connoisseurs, the very engine behind Spain's gin-and-tonic boom and one of Europe's best-selling gin brands, now owned by drinks giant Pernod Ricard.

History & Background

The company was founded by Martin Larios in Málaga in 1866, originally focused on wine and other spirits, before gin truly became the house's core product in the 20th century. Its Andalusian location gave natural access to the region's oranges and lemons, which still define Larios' citrus-driven style. Over the decades, the brand grew to become the very backbone of Spain's gin-and-tonic culture, a drink that in Spain holds near-institutional status. Today, Larios is part of the Pernod Ricard group and sold in a wide range of countries worldwide.

Production & Style

Andalusian citrus fruits, mainly orange and lemon, are distilled alongside juniper, giving Larios its characteristic sun-ripened Mediterranean profile.

Signature Style

Citrusy, Mediterranean, Sun-ripened
Rich citrus from Spanish oranges and lemons meets classic juniper in a warm, Mediterranean-inspired profile.
