The greater part of the alcohol obtained is devoted to produce rum and other beverages, plus the elaboration of drugs in the pharmaceutical industry, and its use in other economic branches.

A second stage in the renovation works is scheduled for the near future to optimize efficiency; that is, to minimize the amount of honey per hectolitre of alcohol obtained. Once repair works are completed, the distillery should meet the year round production with its own raw materials.
