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.

My wife still thinks it is the best Gin in the world having bought her first bottle in Menorca many, many years ago and has drunk it ever since. Thank you for the well packaged, speedy delivery. With our best wishes.

I've visited Menorca a couple of times, and enjoyed sitting in the sun with Xoriguer. I returned home with a couple of bottles of this excellent gin in my case. I find its taste to be very palatable, and better than gins costing far more. On finding Basco/Greys, I placed an order which was delivered as promised. The bottles were well protected against damage which was good to see. I'll be re-ordering.

I confess I have been drinking this gin instead of any other for many years. I found Greys foods as I needed a UK supplier and they were very quick to deliver within 48 hours as my order was after placed late on the day. Very impressed! I look forward to warmer days and long gin and tonics ! It tastes so aromatic and will always transport me to sunny places.
