What is Hierbas?
Hierbas is a lower-ABV (25%) herbal spirit originally distilled by monks living in the Balearic Islands (Majorca, Menorca, Ibiza and Formentera) around the 16th century. The monks used a base of star anise to macerate more than a dozen other wild herbs indigenous to the islands and create a tonic that they used medicinally (<-- not a health claim) and for ceremony. Since then it's been protected by a handful of families on the island.
“Bas” means “wild” in Euskara --the Basque language, a reference to wild foraged herbs in the bottle and the wild spirit of the people who make it. The recipe has been protected by Ibiza's Carreró family for generations.
What makes Basbas taste so much better than other hierbas?
We use a delicate maceration technique that takes more than 10x longer than other hierbas you might find on the islands. The herbs, fruits, and spices in each bottle are hand-harvested and locally sourced. Each was added and removed to the mixture at precise intervals creating a smooth flavor with less sweetness than other hierbas.
Basbas is the only mixable hierbas and can be used as the base spirit in traditional drinks like a Negroni or Mojito. Visit our instagram for inspiration.
