Antonio Nadal Distilleries: Mallorcan tradition in iconic liqueurs
Antonio Nadal is one of the most representative distilleries in Mallorca, with a history dating back to the 19th century. Located on the Balearic island, this house has preserved traditional recipes and Mediterranean character in every production. Its liqueurs form part of the local culture and have crossed borders thanks to their authenticity and consistent quality.
Under its seal are born such renowned references as Túnel, true icons of Mallorcan herbal liqueurs.
The secret of its production
Antonio Nadal Distilleries works with natural macerations of selected aromatic herbs, many of them native to the Mediterranean environment. The process combines artisanal tradition with precise technical control, respecting infusion times and the balance between botanicals, alcohol and natural sugars. The result is intense, aromatic and well-balanced liqueurs, featuring aniseed, herbal and slightly balsamic notes characteristic of authentic Mallorcan herbs.
