Xoriguer Gin, 70 cl

Product Information

The gin is distilled in-house using grape alcohol rather than the typical grain alcohol, and the botanicals remain a closely guarded family secret. Flavour: an herbaceous palate, generous in juniper and smooth citric undertones round out its character. Rather than using a grain alcohol, Xoriguer is made from distilled wine and features juniper (obviously) as well as a secret selection of herbs which only the Pons family (the folks behind Xoriguer) could tell you what's included. The expert distillers at Bulleit offer us their sweet and fruity Rye offering, adding even more rye into the mix than their traditional bourbon.

Because we now live in a world where we can have just about anything delivered to us at our fingertips. We got two hours to visit Mahon and an hour boat trip around the harbour which was a tad underwhelming also.

Our flat was a two-minute walk from the Xoriguer distillery facing the spectacular harbour of Mahón. The aromatic herbs are a closely guarded secret, with the identity and proportions only known by the heirs of the family who make Xoriguer. Pepper, caramel and honey are stand out flavours in this intense bourbon and it’s certainly one to remember.It is this ethos and attitude that we are proud to say is embedded across our company and infused in everything we do.
