MAHÓN GIN FROM XORIGUER.

USING THE SAME CENTURIES OLD RECIPE, OUR GIN SINGS OF OUR BREATHTAKING ENVIRONMENT AND ENVIED WAY OF LIFE.

A STANDARD FOR WORLD-CLASS CRAFT GIN, WE ARE PROUD TO ACCOMPANY OUR ICONIC SPIRIT IN ITS NEW JOURNEY

HANDCRAFTED ON THE ISLAND OF MENORCA – BALEARES, SPAIN

THE HISTORY OF MAHÓN GIN IS INSEPARABLE FROM THAT OF MAHÓN, OUR LEGENDARY PORT CITY.

MAHÓN IS NAMED AFTER THE BROTHER OF HANNIBAL, THE FEARED CARTHAGINIAN LEADER AND FREQUENT ISLAND VISITOR.

MUCH LATER, GREAT BRITAIN TOOK OVER MAHÓN, FOR ITS DEEP WATER PORT IN THE EARLY 1700S, WITH LORD NELSON BECOMING A FAMED LOCAL RESIDENT.

BRITAIN’S MAIN LEGACY IS OF COURSE GIN. THIS IS WHERE OUR STORY REALLY BEGINS.​

MAHÓN’S NAVAL BASE TEEMED WITH THIRSTY BRITISH SAILORS. AROUND 1750 CRAFTSMEN OBLIGED BY LOCALLY PRODUCING GIN. THE DISTINCTIVE “MAHÓN GIN RECIPE” USING GRAPE BASED SPIRITS WAS SOON REPUTED FOR ITS SMOOTHNESS. BY WHEN BRITAIN LEFT, GIN HAD LONG SINCE BECOME OUR ISLAND DRINK…

MAHÓN GIN WAS FIRST SOLD IN STONEWARE JUGS, WITH A LOOP LATER INTRODUCED FOR EASIER HANDLING. THE “CANECA” WAS BORN, EVOLVING INTO ITS PRESENT GREEN GLASS FORMAT THAT IS OUR UNMISTAKABLE BRAND SYMBOL

ARTISANAL AND TRUE TO OUR CRAFT, WE HAVE CHANGED VERY LITTLE. WE STILL OPERATE IN THE HARBOUR FRONT DISTILLERY REBUILT IN 1910 BY MIGUEL PONS ON THE FOUNDATIONS OF THE ORIGINAL ONE DESTROYED BY FIRE.

PRODUCTION IN SMALL BATCHES USING 200 YEAR OLD WOOD FIRED COPPER STILLS (700 LITERS EACH) DEFINES US AS AN AUTHENTIC SMALL BATCH DISTILLER.

IF ANYTHING, IT IS OUR PEOPLE THAT MATTER MOST. OUR RICH STORY IS ONE OF CRAFTSMANSHIP, NOT MACHINERY. THESE TRUE ARTISANS, RELYING ON PRECISION AND PATIENCE, HAVE BEEN TRANSMITTING THEIR PRECIOUS DISTILLING KNOWLEDGE FROM GENERATION TO GENERATION, YET KEEPING AN OPEN MIND TO INNOVATION.
