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.

In my experience this is the second best gin I have tasted. To be fair the best is made by a good friend of mine in his garage in Australia so shouldn't really count...I have been drinking Xoriguer for 25 years and it has the same taste always. It is Menorca in a glass. The secret taste is reminiscent of the wild rock rose which flourishes in beautiful Menorca. We like to serve it with lime and nibble on Gordal olives and artisanal potato crisps. Enjoy!

Outstanding gin. Delicious in the traditional Pomada drink we enjoyed whilst in Mahon. Excellent delivery service and we will be ordering again.

A fantastic, authentic Gin the likes of which are very difficult to find among a sea of flavoured specials. Perfect on a warm day with a slice of lemon and some Schweppes
