Jordi Perelló Distilleries - We have been making artisanal liqueurs since 1882 in Mallorca, following traditional recipes. Our brands: 3 Caires, Prohibido, Hierbas de Mallorca and Garrot.
Our family's liqueur tradition began in 1882, when we left winemaking after the phylloxera plague to devote ourselves fully to the manufacture of liqueurs in Llubí, Mallorca. Since then, we have followed ancestral recipes to create products such as brandy, rum, dried anise and others. In 1999, we moved to modern facilities in Calvià, where we maintain artisanal production with our brands.
Description
Our liquor history began in 1882, when the phylloxera plague devastated the vineyards of Europe, including those of our family in Llubí, Mallorca. Faced with this challenge, we abandoned wine production and turned to the manufacture of spirits. That same year, our first batches of brandy (then known as cognac), rum, Bendito liqueur and dried anise (cazalla), among others, were produced, made in an artisanal way in two houses that we adapted as a factory. Production continued in Llubí until 1940, when the need for expansion took us to Palma. In 1999, we moved to Calvià, to modern facilities designed specifically for the winery and factory. Since then, we have kept the tradition alive, faithfully respecting the recipes passed down from generation to generation. Today, our brands 3 Caires, Prohibido, Hierbas de Mallorca and Garrot are a reflection of our commitment to quality, authenticity and the family legacy that we have preserved for more than a century.

This liqueur is made following a traditional and artisanal recipe, using centuries-old stills and distillation processes that can last more than 15 hours. The triangular bottle, designed in 1895 and patented in 1927 by Jordi Perelló Serra, is an iconic symbol of the brand.
