Xoriguer Gin, Gin de Menorca Reviews

5 Rating 377 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.

“Loved this gin every since I tried it in Gin Burger in Palma Mallorca a few years ago! Very much looking forward to a few G&T’s in the late afternoon sunshine at home, almost forgetting about the Corona Lockdown of 2020.”

“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.”
