Destilerias del Penedés

History

In the year 1818 the Pujol family - already part of the world of distilled beverages - founded its own distillery with the aim of producing a variety of spirits, in particular, RUM.

In those days the people of England, the Netherlands, Russia and the countries of northern Europe preferred spirits with a dry taste, whilst overseas Spanish colonies leaned toward spirits with an anisette-like or sweeter flavor.

Around the middle of the nineteenth century, the family began to open its own shops where its spirits were sold to the public. All were highly esteemed - particularly RUM alone or with coffee - and exceptionally well received both then and now.

As the years went by, the fame of our products has continued to grow, with Pujol spirits winning several prestigious awards in international exhibits, hence increasing the fame of the company.

During the twentieth century, the renown of the product range thrived until - for lack of a family heir interested in the business - a group of trade professionals decided to join forces in 1971 by creating DESTILERIAS DEL PENEDES, S.A. in order to continue producing Pujol products, thus enhancing the prestige and the fame of the brand.
