Larios is the number one gin in Spain and continental Europe and one of the top 10 best-selling gins internationally.

The Larios family moved to Malaga at the beginning of the 19th century, and were involved in cane processing before developing into distillation in 1863. They acquired Jimenez & Lamothe wine makers and brandy distillers in 1916. In 1932 the third Marquis of Larios, José Aurelio Larios y Larios launched Larios gin.

Larios was acquired by the French Pernod-Ricard Group in 1997, then in July 2005 sold to the American company Fortune Brands - now Beam Suntory the present owners.
