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.

Found this gin about 50years ago when I was on holiday in Minorca . And it’s still as good now as it was then . JUST FABULOUS..

First had this in Menorca, it’s wonderfully flavoursome with out all the overpowering fruit flavours that have become so popular. It’s wonderful and thanks to Basco I can now enjoy it here too.

It is nearly 40 years since I first tasted Menorcan Gins in Mahon by the harbour. My favourite was Ginimel Macer which I tasted first in 1983 and again in 1993, being my next visit to the island. I have been several times in this century bringing home a bottle on most occasions. however, I had not taken very well to their regular gin in the green bottles until about 12 years ago when I added lemonade and have loved it ever since.
