Why your Non-Alcoholic Spirit Brand will maybe fail...
I have to say: in general, you are right! People live more and more healthy. Awesome! They focus on exercising, work out a good balance, good and healthy food, taking care of themselves. It is big. Especially in the „younger“ generations. And yes. People drink less and less alcohol. One reason is for health. And then we also have the „hustler“. They wanna be fit the next morning, Conquering the world again. Both are good points. So, yes: The world will need more non-alcoholic beverages. Here you are right and I agree 100% So, you might also be right, to transform „non-alcoholic “ drinks into the Bar wold. You think that some of these people just love the imagination of „feeling“ like drinking alcohol is great. Also that they do not get „the look“ and „the question“ from the people they spend the time over the drink. So you copy the rituals and the habits of enjoying alcohol in a sophisticated way into your product. And this is why you believe in Non-Alcoholic Spirits. Te
Das Zeug heisst eigentlich GIN XORIGUER. Mahón ist einfach die Hauptstadt Menorcas, wo dieser Gin produziert wird.
AntwortenLöschenEin tolles Produkt, im Ausland bis datto nahezu unbekannt.
Grüsse aus Spanien.
In der Tat. Geiler Stoff. Im Lebensstern Berlin mixen sie auf Wunsch damit.
AntwortenLöschenDie Bezeichnung "Wacholdersaft aus Menorca" ist bei gerade mal 38 Vol.-% in der Tat zutreffend.
AntwortenLöschenDanke für den Hinweis zum Namen.
AntwortenLöschenWas den Alkoholgehalt angeht:
Bis zu diesem Gin hatte ich ein Prinzip ... kein Gin unter 40% Vol. Dieser Gin ist die Ausnahme wert.

Bloom hat mich seinerzeit von den 47% runtergeholt. Xoriguer ist geschmacklich gelungen unter 40% - es spricht nichts gegen die 38% Vol, aber sehr viel für die präsente Wacholder Note und den guten Geschmack.
Hi Jörg!
AntwortenLöschenWhat did you mix it with? If it's the same product (and the same recipe) I wholeheartedly disagree.
What I like about Xoriguer:
- Nice story, nice heritage
- Nice packaging that reflects the heritage
- The fact that they use grape spirit as a base and not grain spirit like most other producers
What I don't like:
- The taste ;)
Why?
The gin recipe seems to have too much citrus oils in it. No matter what you mix it with, you never get rid of a certain soapiness in the taste.
Xoriguer was actually the only bottle I ever bought abroad that I left in the hotel room and didn't take home.
There used to be an importer in the UK who tried to get the word around. They used a variation of a gin & lemonade to promote it. It didn't really work.
So, what did you mix it with?
Cheers, Helmut
P.S. Thanx for chaning the blog theme. The old one was a nightmare...
Dear Helmut,
AntwortenLöschenwell - I really do like the Taste. Enjoyed it chilled and neat, as a dry Martini and in different Gin & tonic Variations... Work very well in my Opinion. But how or better why should we discuss out taste ? its may just different ...
I highly recommend this Gin.
Best
Jörg
Which tonic water did you try it with?
AntwortenLöschenNot here to discuss taste just curious to know what your findings are.

Habe den Gin auch vor Jahren aus dem Urlaub mitgenommen.
AntwortenLöschenFand ihn sehr gut und eine super, exotische Erweiterung für den Barstock. Leider hatte ich ihn aus den Augen verloren nachdem die Flasche leer war...Erhältlichkeit und so.
Das schreit nach Sammelbestellung ;)
Grüße
