Xoriguer Gin, Gin de Menorca Reviews

5 Rating 380 Reviews
Read Basco Fine Foods Reviews

A cult gin from Mahon in Menorca, Xoriguer is one of the only gins in the world, alongside Plymouth, to hold a geographical indication, Gin de Menorca. This gin, pronounced sho-ri-gair, was first created for British sailors stationed on the island between 1708 and 1802. Xoriguer is still made using traditional copper stills and high-quality wine alcohol (eau-de-vie), along with carefully selected juniper berries from nearby Mediterranean mountains and aromatic herbs. The herbs, a guarded secret of Xoriguer gin's original bouquet, are added at the start of each distillation process. The respect for tradition is such that the fuel still used today in the distillery remains unchanged.

Our favourite Gin and highly recommended, especially when on offer! That aside, we always have a bottle or two in the cupboard!

This is our go to Gin, well balanced and tasty though best served with a decent tonic, slice of lime. Or, lemonade! We're ordered this many times from Basco as our order history will show! A must try!

I first tasted Xorigurr at its distillery in Mahon. Liked it right away. As a gin drinker I find it's distinct flavour an interesting change from the usual 'London' varieties.
