Xoriguer
Mahón Gin
Spain
Blown away.
Delightful herbal aromatics , and when paired with your favorite tonic, a kafir lime kind of thing cones out and really graces the tongue.
Hard to find outside of España. If you do, grab a few! 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 18th century British occupation and Xoriguer commands a devoted following of happy travellers. Unusually, Xoriguer is made in wood-fired pot stills from distilled wine (eau-de-vie) rather than the more usual grain-based distillate, and is rested in oak barrels before bottling.

Wonderful. Where tanqueray comes from. If you 'real the type to have a few gins around, this has to be one of them. If you only keep one on hand for martinis or g&t's, this might be the one. Viscous and herbaceous with a little lemon zest and a bit of sea grass.
