Xoriguer Gin, Gin de Menorca Reviews

5 Rating 377 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.

This Mahon gin is special. Made in Mao, formerly Mahon, capital of Menorca Island, it retains a delicious flavour from when gin was first made on the island.

A real favourite - evokes happy memories of sunny days in Menorca. Grape based (not spirit) - less chance of a hangover!!

I love GIN Xoriguer !! My first experience of this gin was a few years ago when I visited Menorca, and so I bought some to bring home with me. I've not been able to buy any in England until I recently discovered it on Basco website. I was so pleased, and ordered it immediately. I only received it this week so haven't tasted it yet, but I know I shall absolutely love it. I like to make the traditional Menorcan drink - the Pomada - such a refreshing drink !!
