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.

“A really distinctive gin which isn't readily available in the UK. Basco delivered my order quickly, efficiently and without fuss. Thank you.”

“It's really difficult to get this fab Gin in the UK, so glad I found Basco. Arrived when said, it's a pity they don't do a cheaper delivery option but that said was able to choose delivery date. If you haven't tried this gin I highly recommended it”

“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.”
