About Spain

Spain is located in southwestern Europe on the Iberian Peninsula. Its official language is Spanish, alongside regional languages such as Catalan, Galician, and Basque. The country's economy is well known for its strong tourism sector, agricultural output, manufacturing, and diverse service industries.

The spirits market

Spirits are legal and sold through private retailers without a state monopoly. Registered businesses with tax and EORI credentials face a 0% import tariff on most distilled spirits, alongside an excise duty of €958.94 per hectolitre of pure alcohol and 21% VAT. Domestic producers commonly manufacture liqueurs, gin, brandy, rum, anise, and orujo. Exporters have strong opportunities supplying premium gin, whisky, and craft spirits to the country's extensive hospitality and tourism sectors.
