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.

Best proper gin, you can imagine yourself in Menorca! Very helpful when I rang about a slight mix-up with the on-line ordering system. Soon sorted and they made it a next-day delivery. Highly recommend the gin and Basco.

You can't go wrong with Xoriguer, best gin ever. Perfect with a good tonic water. Thank you Basco for a fantastic service that made this girls birthday extra special ! Besos xx
