Xoriguer Gin / Mahon
70cl / 38%
A cult gin from Mahon in Menorca, Xoriguer is one of the only gins in the world (alongside Plymouth) to have a geographical indication, Gin de Menorca. Gin has been made on Menorca since the time of the British occupation in the 18th century and Xoriguer commands a devoted following of happy travellers. Unusually, Xoriguer is made in wood-fired potstills from distilled wine (eau-de-vie) rather than the more usual grain-based distillate, and is rested in American oak barrels before bottling.

This is a classic gin recipe that is over one hundred years old. It has a bright, fresh taste and is so good it can be drunk neat, although it is equally good as a G&T. I struggle to get it in Australia but when I do it is savoured and treasured like an heirloom.

Given free choice of all the affordable gins, I would always plump for this. Wonderful in the Fiesta drink of Pomada, an excellent base for G & T, but perhaps best appreciated drunk Menorquin style: a generous measure of the gin, neat and at room temperature, with an accompanying small glass of iced water. If you must make a Martini with it, then make it about 95% gin and enjoy!

Its distinctive, old fashioned flavour rivals any british gin. The only gin i buy

I was introduced to this gin on a craggy old sailboat, sailing around the coast of Majorca. Nothing makes a gin and tonic like this gin - and combined with a gorgeous sunset; well life doesn't get much better!

A wonderful sharp zest which makes for a brilliant refreshing ice cold summer refreshment. Served with a good helping of fanta lemon over ice has to be belived. Its refered to as 'pomade' by the locals in Menorca when mixed like this.
