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.

Excellent Speedy service as usual from the ordering process to the next day delivery. The gin is excellent and brings back memories of holidaying in Menorca.

Delicious local gin from Menorca, which we first discovered when we went there on holiday in 2015. Perfect with Fever Tree Mediterranean tonic and a slice of Lemon. Or mixed with cloudy fresh lemonade and ice to make a Pommada, a local cocktail. Beats most the more expensive gins on the market by a mile.

Delicious Menorcan Gin delivered promptly and at a reasonable price. Backed up by courteous after sales service which easily resolved an address omission. 5 stars to Basco for making it all possible.
