T
he craft gin movement continues to evolve, and Mallorca is at the heart of it. Creative entrepreneurs are embracing artisanal approaches to distillation and bringing in elements of the island to enhance its flavours - from lemons to rosemary to olives and oranges. Using traditional methods, with a respect for their natural surroundings, each of these brands is bringing something special to the glass.
Cabraboc
Cabraboc is a small-batch, family run gin distillery putting a distinctly Balearic spin on the juniper-based libation since 2012. At the heart of Cabraboc's ethos is a deep appreciation for the island's diverse flora and fauna, particularly in the Serra de Tramuntana’s, where they are based. Their gin recipes incorporate a carefully curated selection of botanicals, many of which are locally sourced and foraged. Ingredients like lemon verbena and rosemary lend the gin a refreshingly Mediterranean aroma and flavour. Their Taronja Dry Gin, which uses sweet, local oranges, won a gold in London's spirit awards. The team takes pride in their use of renewable energy sources and their efforts to minimise waste throughout the production cycle. Cabraboc has also developed a range of limited-edition and seasonal offerings that further explore the local terroir.
