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.

Beautiful gin that glides me back to the hills surrounding Soller - with herby and juniper aromas and mixed with a bitter-sweet lemon sparkler rather than tonic - as the sun goes down over the port: bliss.

A little taste of sunshine - whilst waiting for our trips back to Menorca. Just won best gin in a martini award - but try it with fresh lemon twist, rosemary & Med light tonic

You can keep your fancy flavoured gins for me. This is proper gin, with a fragrance that comes from the juniper scented Menorcan countryside, smooth and complex, versatile enough to drink on its own, as gin tonic in the heat of the day and Pomada at fiesta time. Delicious and definitely my favourite.
