Xoriguer Gin, Gin de Menorca Reviews

5 Rating 374 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.

Being an ownwer of a home in Menorca since 1981 Xoriguer is my Favourite tipple when on the island. It is lovely to be able to enjoy it here in Scotland as I have not been able to visit my home during 2020 . It is unlikely I will be unable to visit until late 2021 till the Covid 19 Vaccine is in place. My wife and I are in the vulerable category so we have to limit our activities in terms of travel etc. I placed and order for 4- bottles with a 10% discount on my first order. The order was processed before I recieved the discount code, Will I have that discount applied on my next order with Basco.

Hi William, glad you're enjoying the Xoriguer gin, it is excellent isn't it? If you didn't use your discount on your first order it is still available to use on your subsequent order. Kind Regards.
