Xoriguer Gin, Gin de Menorca Reviews

5 Rating 377 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.

An amazing, specialist gin - made from grape base (not spirit) - gorgeous, light flavour of summer. Perfect with cloudy lemonade for a traditional Menorcan fiesta drink (Pomada)

I first became aware of 'Mahon gin' in 1984 during our first holiday in Menorca. Learning that it is distilled using the same recipe as from the time that the Royal Navy were based there in the 18th century made it even more welcome. It's unique flavour makes it stand out above all the other London/English gins.
