Xoriguer Mahon Gin (1ltr)

Gin from the Balearic island of Menorca, Xoriguer has been made at the same distillery since 1780. The spirit draws on a tradition of gin-making that took root in the Mediterranean when British naval influence was strong in the region, though the house style has evolved into something distinctly Spanish. The botanicals are macerated and then distilled with local grain alcohol, creating a gin with a particular character shaped by its island terroir and long production history.

Xoriguer shows a warm, spiced profile with prominent juniper balanced by citrus and herbal notes. There's a softness to the spirit and a slightly oily mouthfeel that speaks to its traditional distillation method. It works beautifully in a gin and tonic where its complexity can open up, and it's equally suited to sipping neat or on ice as a meditative spirit. The bottle itself, distinctive with its simple label and seal, has become iconic among gin drinkers looking for something with genuine depth and history.
