Distillation and production

Production method

For Maior Gin the company indicates the use of local products (fig leaves, rosemary, Sóller oranges) with maceration of citrus parts in alcohol and repeated distillations in traditional copper stills: the official source describes the procedure carried out several times until the desired composition is obtained; the resulting blend is then finished (for Maior Gin a resting period in wood is reported). For Suau brandies the solera system and long barrel ageing in historic cellars are employed.

Distillation

Maceration of botanicals and peels in alcohol followed by distillation in traditional stills; for Maior Gin the house describes repeated distillations until the desired profile is reached (official source indicates the procedure is carried out multiple times). For brandies the solera system is applied.

Ageing

For the brandies: solera system with ageing in historic caves/cellars. For Maior Gin the official description refers to a resting/finishing period of about 3 months in American oak barrels after distillation (as indicated by the official product sheet).

Producer history Bodegas Suau

Founded in the 19th century (historical date reported as 1851), Bodegas Suau is a traditional Majorcan company based in a listed historic building at Es Pont d'Inca. The company preserves the memory of its origins linked to Caribbean trade and has evolved while maintaining artisanal processes for producing brandy, gin and rum. The cellars, some historic equipment and a museum are integral parts of the facility and of the guided tours offered to the public.

Production philosophy

Combines local tradition and artisanal production: valorization of Mallorcan ingredients to express territorial character (for example Sóller orange peel, fig leaves, rosemary in Maior Gin) and ageing using traditional methods (solera system for brandies). Promotes artisanal production and island identity.

Territory

Mallorca (Island of Majorca), Balearic Islands — based in Es Pont d'Inca, Marratxí; production and identity are strongly tied to the island's ingredients and microclimate.
