Xoriguer Gin, Gin de Menorca Reviews

5 Rating 384 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.

“Tryed this Menorcan gin when holidaying there and it is without doubt the best gin I've had. Ideal on a sunny day this wine based gin has juniper undertones and its own local provinance and is perfect with a couple lemon slices and ice. Also refreshing as a pomada drink. Absolutely recommend to bring back those long hot Balearic days.”

“Not being able to get out to Menorca for some time now has been hard, so it's great to be able to have a small taste of holidays at home with some Menorcan gin! A sensible price and quick delivery as well.”
