It is said that the recipe was invented in 1750 by a craftsman from Minorca who was inspired by the production of Dutch jenever and London dry gin. In 1940 Miguel Pons Justo decided to reproduce the recipe in his distillery in the port of Mahon, on the island of Menorca, where his family still continues to produce Xoriguer gin using the same method and jealously preserving the secrets of the artisan recipe. For its distillation the one shot method is used, that is a unique distillation in centenary copper stills warmed on a high heat.


Distillates have different alcoholpercentages. So, we have defined a parameter allowing you to better understand and compare different prices. This parameter is calculated by dividing the bottle price by the alcohol content. The alcohol content (or strength) is the amount of pure alcohol (ethanol) contained in the distillate.
This parameter indicates the price of a single 4cl dosage of distillate. It is calculated by dividing the price of the bottle by its quantity (expressed in cl), then multiplying by the centilitres of the recommended single dose, as average in cocktail recipes.
