History

Destilería Andina was established in the early 2010s by brothers Ishmael Randall-Weeks and Joaquín Randall and their friend Haresh Bhojwani.[1] The company makes rhum agricole spirits from freshly-pressed and distilled sugarcane, commonly known in Peru as cañazo.[4]

Products

One of the company's first products, Matacuy, is an adaptation of a traditional macerated spirit made from sugarcane alcohol infused with Andean herbs and botanicals.[4][3] In 2019, Matacuy was included in an editorial list of notable spirits published by Bon Appétit.[5]

Salqa is the company's range of sugarcane-based spirits previously marketed under the name Caña Alta.[6][7]
