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.

Wonderful gin which sadly is very difficult to get in the U.K, so I was pleased to find it on Basco’s site. If you like a very aromatic, herby gin, then I’d recommend this with a Fever Tree Mediterranean Tonic and a small slice of lime. Excellent, prompt service from Basco too. Very impressed!

We drink this fabulous gin often during holidays on Menorca but good to be able to source it back here in the UK.

We first tried Xoriguer in Menorca where it is made and still enjoy its special subtle flavour.

We discovered Xoriguer on a trip to Menorca and it's now an essential item in the family cocktail cabinet. We were delighted to find that Basco Foods sells it in the UK, providing a good service at a reasonable price.
