The Spirit of Ibiza

Basbas is the most awarded hierbas in the world, with more than 30 international medals, 12 golds, two double-golds, two best-of category, and a consumer choice award. For a complete list of our awards, visit our awards page.

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 "premium" and 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. Every herb, fruit and spice in each bottle is hand-harvested and locally sourced. Each 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. Check out our instagram for inspiration. 

We also take an active approach to sustainability. There is no disposable plastic in our production process. Even the freshness capsule that seals each bottle is produced from compostable material--a polylactic acid extrusion (plant starches) to be precise. We're a member of 1% for the planet and donate an addition $1 from every bottle sold anywhere in the world to keep the waters of Ibiza plastic-free.

What does Basbas taste like?

Basbas comes on light and bright with a touch of sweet and island citrus. Super drinkable with a soul-warming herbaceousness and uplifting finish. It’s remarkably balanced and goes down easy before, during, after or way after dinner.

What You'll Taste: Anise, Sage, Citrus

What You'll Smell: Cinnamon, Anise, Rosemary

What You'll Feel: Happy to be alive

Can Basbas replace Chartreuse in my mixes?

Yes! With the short supply of Chartreuse many mixologists have turned to Basbas as the herbal component in their recipes. We think the taste of Basbas is more accessible and versatile, but Basbas does not produce the cloudy "louche" visual commonly associated with anisettes like Chartreuse and Ricard.

    Sipping the Supreme

    I have always liked Sambucca because of the black licorice taste since black licorice to me is one of my favorite things on Earth other than my Wife, Family and Friends.

    But, to my surprise I have found an equal to black licorice and that is BasBas. On the nose I pick up that licorice scent of anise but with fennel, honey hints of caramel.

    On the palate is this wonderful luscious taste of golden licorice that is to live for in this sometimes complicated World of ours. BasBas makes that all go away while you think of the good things about life. It takes you to far off places you have never been but experience vis a vis the wonderful taste of BasBas.

    I just like it straight up, not chilled is my preference as I experience the wonderful feeling of relaxation!

    Bye Bye Sambucca, you have been replaced by the new love of my life BasBas…

    You have to try it to understand!

    I like drinks on the sweeter side and my wife likes thyme in the bitter side. Weirdly enough, BasBas is amazing to BOTH of us! We love it and have shared this beautiful drink with our closest friends to make special days into events. Get at least two bottles because you’ll wish you had as soon as it hits your lips.

    My summer staple!

    BasBas has become my requisite summer spirit! It's the perfect drink when laying out at the pool, toasting with friends at bbq's and spreading good vibes. Love its unique flavor and the happy buzzy it provides!

    another Spanish gem of a digestif

    Bas Bas is an incredibly flavorful, unique digestif in the vein of Patxaran. Great gift for the hard to buy for crowd....or just enjoy the yumminess for yourself.
