History and authenticity
Xoriguer was born in 1945 from the hand of Miguel Pons Justo, who recovered an original 18th century recipe to give new life to what is probably the oldest gin in the Mediterranean, Gin Xoriguer.
Destilerías Xoriguer is one of the few distilleries in the world that still produces artisanally in copper pot stills over two centuries old, with its gin holding the Geographical Indication Gin de Mahón.
GIN XORIGUER
Tradition in a bottle
Gin Xoriguer is probably the first gin ever made in the Mediterranean. Its origin dates back over 300 years when the Port of Mahón was one of the most coveted enclaves by major naval powers.
Since 1945, Destilerías Xoriguer has been crafting this unparalleled and memorable gin in the same location.
POMADA
Celebrations with soul
Pomada with Xoriguer is the quintessential Menorcan drink. A simple and delicious mix of Gin Xoriguer & Lemonade “ready to go” that is the star of summer in Menorca.
The true origin of Pomada is a mystery but one thing is very clear; the real Pomada is always made with the gin from Destilerías Xoriguer, Gin Xoriguer.
