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.

Bought this after seeing the Hairy Bikers enjoying gin in Mahon - the only time I'd been there I was about 10 years old, so didn't get the chance to try it! Finally put that right 49 years later! Glad I did though, it's a lovely gin, with wonderful botanicals, which somehow give you both a wonderful first impression, lingering enjoyment and a splendid aftertaste, almost as good as the first one. Doubles all round!

Gorgeous citrus flavours. One of my favourite gins, and I’ve tried a lot! Great with ice and tonic - took me straight back to my holiday in Menorca

I Like a variety of Gins and although no authority on the subject it was a recent TV Programme with the Hairy Bikers that reminded me I had sampled and enjoyed this previously. Like so many Gins the flavours with this stand alone and will certainly appeal to many as a change or variety in the drinks cabinet. A distinctive flavour but like all gins it really chan be changed by your choice of tonic.

Absolutely lovely and refreshing to drink. I have it with tonic and is very citrusy and very easy to go down the hatch.
