Xoriguer Mahón Gin 38% vol. 0.7 l online kaufen

Xoriguer Mahón Gin is a traditional gin speciality from the Balearic island of Menorca, closely associated with the port city of Mahón. Its history dates back to the time of the British presence on Menorca in the 18th century, when demand for gin from British sailors influenced local production. The gin is produced by Destilerías Xoriguer, a family-run business that continues the Menorcan gin tradition to this day. What sets it apart from many classic gins is the alcohol base used: for Xoriguer, alcohol of agricultural origin derived from grapes is used. This is distilled together with selected juniper berries and other botanicals. The characteristic juniper flavour is clearly the focal point, emphasising the traditional Mediterranean style of this protected speciality.

Xoriguer Mahón Gin is bottled at 38 per cent in a 0.7-litre bottle and bears the Protected Geographical Indication ‘Gin de Mahón’ or ‘Gin de Menorca’. The distinctive bottle, with its traditional appearance, also reflects the brand’s long history and its close connection to Menorca. Xoriguer thus stands out clearly from numerous modern interpretations of gin, both through its origin and its wine-based spirit base. In Menorca in particular, the gin holds a firm place in the regional drinking culture and forms, amongst other things, the basis for the well-known Pomada. The combination of historical production traditions, Mediterranean origins and protected geographical identity makes Xoriguer a unique representative within the international world of gin.

Tasting Note

Colour: Clear.

Nose: Intense and aromatic with distinct notes of juniper, Mediterranean herbs and subtle hints of citrus.

Palate: Dry and full of character, with robust juniper, spicy herbs and a subtle, harmoniously integrated citrus freshness.

Finish: Long-lasting, dry and spicy with juniper and Mediterranean herbs.

Xoriguer Mahón Gin can be served in the classic style with tonic water and plenty of ice, but the Menorcan ‘Pomada’ is a particularly authentic way to enjoy it. To make this, combine the gin with lemonade and serve well chilled or over ice. Its dry, Mediterranean character pairs well with olives, almonds, Manchego, air-dried ham, grilled fish or other tapas. This makes Xoriguer ideal both as a summer aperitif and as an accompaniment to Mediterranean starters and convivial tapas evenings.
