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.

I purchased this on behalf of a housebound couple in their 90's who badly wanted it as a Christmas present for their son, who had mentioned that this was the gin he loved. I tried in retail outlets in York to no avail, hence the purchase online. It arrived superbly packed and undamaged and I was able to deliver it to the couple who were 'over the moon'. Well done - you made a lovely old couple very happy! Merry Christmas.

I absolutely adore this gin, one for myself and one for my friend to remind her of the days 40 years ago when she was living with a Spanish policeman!

Not too sharp and not too dry, a perfect gin for a tonic mixer or on its own.
