Xoriguer Gin, Gin de Menorca Reviews

5 Rating 377 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 wonderful refreshing gin whilst still being managing to be punchy enough to make you believe you are back in menorca sipping it poolside .

This is my favourite gin of all time. It is unique in its flavouring and aroma as it is made from wine spirit not grain, which also gives it a wondaful flavour. Thanks to Basco for keeping me supplied throughout this awful medical crisis!
