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.

One of my most favourite gins, one I have known for over 40 years . It hails from the lovely island of Menorca, a legacy from when the British owned it for nigh on 300 years. I love the island and its Capital, Mahon. When I am back in the UK a G&T made with this special, grape, gin conjures up all the fun and love I have experienced over the years in Menorca. Please try this unique, clean, juniper classic gin. I know you will enjoy it! Maria Menaldo

Fell in love with this on holiday in Menorca a few years ago...I didn't even like gin then so it opened up a whole new experience for me. It's still one of my favourites and much, much better than most gins on the market, anywhere. Really good with lemon and a decent plain tonic or in a Menorcan 'pomada' with fresh lemonade. Brings back memories of sunny warm days and long sunsets over the Med.

This product is unique and we love our Pamadas! The gin takes us back to our wonderful holidays in Menorca. The service from Basco Fine Foods is really good, the product is always well packed, and delivery from ordering is very fast, I don`t really know how they process our orders so quickly. Prices are good too, not a lot dearer than the duty free at the airport. I would recommend this company to anyone, and we will continue to use them.
