Xoriguer Gin, Gin de Menorca Reviews

5 Rating 381 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.

Very tasty gin that I first tasted on holiday in Menorca. I regularly buy some for a taste of great times in the sun on holiday.

Love this grape based gin - less harsh than a spirit based one. Fresh and light - reminds me of really happy days in Menorca - for now, it's the best we can manage - so thanks to Basco for supplying and giving me my Menorcan 'fix'. Can't wait to get back to the island, though.
