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.

A very nice traditional distinctive gin set apart from the plethora of designer guns springing up almost on a daily basis. A crisp fresh flavour which goes well with tonic water and a slice of, my preference, lime

This has been our favourite gin for many years. Before the 'designer' gins became popular in more recent years, Xoringuer had already established itself as a flavoursome, speciality gin. Super special.

Our favourite gin! Sadly couldn’t bring any back from Menorca this year. Reasonably priced and would thoroughly recommend.

I have enjoyed this brand of Menorcan Gin for many years. It has a unique and distinct pleasant flavour.As a person who has an interest in our nautical history it is particularly pleasing to know that this Menorcan recipe was originally a British Royal Navy recipe that was taken to Menorca when our Mediterranean fleet was stationed in Mahon harbour. It has a tradition as well as a good taste.I will be giving it to my daughter-in-law this Christmas as she particularly enjoys an occasional Gin but admits she has never sampled this different flavour. I hope, when she unwraps it,she will share the odd tot or two with us. If not I will purchasae another bottle in the New Year
