Not far from Marbella is the small, whitewashed hillside village of Ojen, birthplace of one of Spain’s most famous drinks and home to the Museo Vino de Malaga (The Wine Museum of Malaga). In 1997, this forgotten distillery was refurbished  and opened to the public having been, in the meantime, a cinema, theatre and coffee shop to name but three. 

The distillery was founded by Pedro Morales in 1830 and was Andalucia's first distillery. Morales wanted to create a distinctive brand of alcohol with a unique flavour and he achieved just that when he unveiled his Pedro Morales Aguardiente de Ojen.

Aguardiente was a type of potent schnapps, over 40 percent proof and flavoured with anis. It was distilled from Malaga’s moscatel grape to create either dry or sweet schnapps. It became world famous, as did its distinctive, coffin-shaped bottle.

Many tried to copy the popular potion, but none succeeded. By 1920, with no male heir to carry on the family tradition, the distillery and the infamous drink all disappeared. The exact recipe for the drink was never discovered.

The Museo Vino de Malaga display more than 200 bottled wine varieties from fourteen of Malaga’s wineries plus sherry, whiskey and brandy.

There is also an afternoon of wine tasting for a very modest fee and you can savour many of Andalucia’s finest wines, from Malaga, Jerez, Vuelva and Cadiz. Dry wines includes trajinero, fino and verdiales, the sweet offers lagrima, natural and cream while the moscatels are sublime, dorado and plata.

There are guided tours in English, Spanish and French.
