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.

Got this as a Christmas present for a friend who always brings back a bottle from her holiday. I'm sure she will be very surprised that I have managed to get a bottle thanks to the Internet

A lovely tasting gin, takes me straight back to Mahon when I was on my Holidays. It's almost like I'm back in Mahon, outside a local restaurant, soaking up the sun. FANTASTIC!!

As regular gin drinkers we are so aware of the huge range of new offerings that have loaded the supermarket shelves with labels never seen before. So how refreshing to find that one of the oldest gins, from Minorca, holds its head well above the newcomers out there, with its smooth juniper tones making the best g and t we’ve had for ages. Maybe it’s the eau-de-vie spirit base that makes the difference. Who knows, but they’ve been making it this way since the 1700s so something must be right. And we’re sticking with it as our go-to gin!

The secret ingredients of this Menorquin gin certainly enhance its unique pure taste. We came across it whilst holidaying in Menorca and it’s our favourite gin. Taste the difference!

This is my wife's favourite gin which we tasted first on a sailing holiday in Menorca.
