The distillery's start was in 1930 when Seinjet and the Pellman brothers planted sugarcane. By 1944, Seinjet had set up La Cabaña. Despite initial challenges, he focused on sugarcane. This led to his sugar mill in 1953.
La Cabaña has grown over the years. They got new machinery in 1954 and helped start Asocaña in 1959. Seinjet was awarded for his work in 1983. In 2010, they built a refined sugar facility with a capacity of over 400 tonnes a day.
