Whether you\u2019re nostalgic for an old trip to the lively Spanish island or manifesting your first, an authentic taste of Ibiza is just a bottle of Basbas<\/a> away. Boasting the title of the most awarded hierbas in the world, Basbas<\/a> is one of Spain\u2019s best-kept secrets: a premium, handcrafted liqueur<\/a> that blends more than a dozen different herbs and spices. Now, after a two-year wait and multiple sold-out drops, this decorated drink<\/a> is finally coming to America.<\/p>\n First distilled by 16th-century monks in northeastern Spain, hierbas are an herbal spirit<\/a> traditionally used as a remedy. The monks would ferment wild anise and then extract essential oils of other medicinal herbs like rosemary, juniper, and sage into the alcohol. (For the spiritually inclined, here\u2019s the chance to sage your insides!<\/a>) Although it\u2019s still relatively unknown in the States, the spirit remains a staple in the Balearic Islands. If you appreciate a full spirit<\/a> that\u2019s smooth and bright with a hint of sweetness and floral accents, Basbas<\/a> is sure to be an instant favorite.<\/p>\n
