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.

Menorcan Gin Xoriguer is by far the best gin in the world. I am really grateful to BASCO for making it available in the UK.

A truly great gin. A very different aromatic from a typical London Dry. Really is my favourite.

We first enjoyed this fantastic Xoriguer gin on the island of Menorca many years ago and can do again thanks to Basco's fine foods and drink.
