For distillation they use copper pot stills that are over two hundred years old and continue to heat with firewood from the Menorcan forests. Thanks to the fire of the boilers, the vapors are formed, which after circulating through copper tubes, condense and give rise to the gin that sprouts drop by drop.<br \/>\nBut not only this artisanal process is the architect of the particular flavor of the Menorca Gin, but also the quality wine, the sloes of the Pyrenees, the combination of aromatic herbs and the Mah\u00f3n water give this liquor a unique character.<br \/>\nThis drink, which is consumed mainly in summer and especially during the Sant Joan de Ciutadella festivities, is served very cold in a ratio of one third of gin to two of lemonade. This refreshing combo takes the popular name of \u2018ointment\u2018.<br \/>\nIts name, Xoriguer, comes from what was the livelihood of the Pons, wheat flour in a Mah\u00f3n mill with this name. The same mill that carries the label of the Gin Xoriguer bottle.<br \/>\nThe distillery can be visited to learn about the history of the gin and the family and to see the process of making the liquor.
