Anise Ca de Bou Dry

Ca de bou is a 100% distilled extra dry anise, an ancestral and very popular drink in Mallorca.

The Antonio Nadal distillery boasts a magnificent 1000-liter copper still, allowing them to produce 100% distilled spirits of the highest quality. This, combined with master distiller Josep María Natta's expertise in aniseeds and his dedication to using only the highest quality raw materials—in this case, anise seeds and star anise—results in a clean, bright, and transparent product.

TASTING NOTES: It has a fine and very smooth entry on the palate, produced by the large amount of residual oil. Despite its high alcohol content of 50%, it has a fine and elegant mid-palate, seeking to warm the stomach without being too harsh. Intense notes of anise give way to elegant fruity aromas on a spicy background and a smooth finish.

CONSUMPTION MODE: It is traditionally consumed as a digestive, served alone or mixed with coffee (carajillo).

Cocktails can be created, for example, in a balloon glass or a wide glass with plenty of ice and flavored with lemon peel, 2cl of aniseed, 2cl of premium limoncello ferone, and a bitter lemonade soda.

We could also make the frozen version, using a blender and crushed ice, and adding a couple of basil leaves to add even more aroma and complexity to the cocktail. Due to its aromatic and glycerin-like qualities, it's suitable for use in cooking or baking, fish stock, rice dishes, game stews, doughnuts, cakes, and ice cream. Clear examples of the product's versatility.
