Mahon Gin 750ml

Mahón Gin is the traditional gin of Menorca, produced by the Xoriguer distillery using a method that dates to the island's 18th-century British occupation, when Royal Navy sailors brought their taste for juniper. Unlike most gins, it's distilled from a wine-based spirit rather than grain neutral spirit, then briefly rested in oak, which gives it a faint golden tint and a rounder texture. The nose is juniper-forward with citrus and herbal notes; the palate carries that same juniper backbone with a soft, slightly sweet finish from the oak contact. It suits drinkers who want a gin with real regional history behind it, not just another London Dry.

How to drink Mahón Gin

The classic call is a Pomada — Mahón Gin over ice with lemonade, the everyday drink of Menorca's summer festivals. A simple gin and tonic works too, though it's a gentler, rounder gin than a London Dry so go easy on heavy botanicals in the tonic. Skip serving it ice-cold and neat; the oak character is easier to taste at cellar temperature.
