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 love this gin as it reminds me of all the wonderful times that I have had in Menorca . I especially needed reminding as my family were unable to go this year because of Covid but just the sight of the bottle and it's wonderful smell takes me back! Thank you

Loved this gin ever since I was introduced to it by one of Joe Cocker’s roadies and his wife in a beach bar in Binibeca over 20 years ago and the only one I will drink. Visited the gin factory in Mahon - and tried a few more of their different products! One word - lush

Had this while we were on holiday in Menorca and was so pleased find a supplier in the uk. Perfect for summer evenings and those cosy evenings.

My ALL TIME favourite gin - usually go out to Menorca 4 times per year - haven't been once in 2020 - but the wonderful BASCO have brought it to me. Brilliant, prompt service and great prices, too.
