History
A traditional distillery crafted high-quality liqueurs with unmatched flavor, distilling with oak wood-fired copper stills and spring water, using artisanal methods that have made the Sierra Morena famous since the 16th century.
1961
The grandfather of Exótica’s future creator brings that old distillery back into operation. He establishes his own facility to continue producing high-quality liqueurs and anise spirits, following the secret, original recipes of master distillers passed down from generation to generation.
2012
Three generations later, his grandson Jaime García carries on the family tradition and establishes his own distillery, “Destilerías de Constantina.” Keeping up with new trends and tastes, he chooses to break new ground by experimenting with different spirits, flavors, and ingredients.
2014
Years of research lead to Exótica’s launch: the first cinnamon and blackberry flavored gin. The authentic. An innovative gin, different, bold—and unforgettable.
ALSO IN 2014
Exótica becomes an unprecedented success, entering major retailers. So successful, in fact, that other brands started copying us (ahem ahem).
2023
Exótica Light is born: 20% alc/vol gin with all the flavor and uniqueness of the original.
2025
Exótica continues expanding, starting a nationwide distribution project.
