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.

I'm saving this for Christmas but this my favourite gin at my favourite gin bar in Newcastle. Always worth paying a bit more for a really good quality gin

We've been on holiday (plus our honeymoon) numerous times to Menorca, and also enjoyed the Xoriguer Gin Factory! Pomada is an absolute holiday favourite, and we always have some in the house to try and bring the sunshine back to the UK!

Excellent service as usual! Mahon Gin is absolutely gorgeous and so difficult to get hold of in the UK. Basco are certainly the cheapest and also supply a fantastic range of other Spanish foods/drink so well worth taking a look !

Our family think Xoriguer gin is the best, following many holidays in Menorca. When I came across BASCO I was eager to buy from you. Your service was most efficient and the bottles arrived well packed and without delay. I am sure I will be buying from you in the future.

One of my favourite gins. Mix with Kas Citron and plenty of ice to make a Pomada.
