Javier Domínguez

With over a decade in the craft spirits industry, I dedicate my full energy as the CEO of DESTILERÍA DE MADRID, where I lead our commitment to excellence in crafting Spain's best brands that reflect our nation's rich heritage and culture. My journey began in 2012 when I co-founded SANTAMANÍA, which laid the foundation for my passion for creating unique, high-quality spirits. In 2021, we decided to adopt the name Destilería de Madrid, thus honoring the wonderful city that saw us born and that embraces us. Here, we blend cutting-edge techniques with traditional craftsmanship to produce exceptional offerings like Santamanía Gin and Ron Mentidero. Throughout my career, I have also held strategic leadership roles in various large corporations, allowing me to develop a robust skill set in business development and strategic management. My experience as Director of Strategy at ONO, along with executive positions at companies such as Yoigo and GSK, has equipped me with the insights necessary to navigate the competitive landscape effectively. This unique combination of entrepreneurial spirit and corporate expertise enables me to drive growth and foster partnerships that enhance our brand identity and market presence in the spirits sector.
