Pacharan Azanza Reviews

4.9 Rating 72 Reviews

What is Pacharan? Pacharan is a delicious sloe-flavoured liqueur with a pronounced aniseed taste, commonly drunk in Navarra and the rest of the Basque Country, the Pyrenees and elsewhere in Spain. The word Pacharan comes from the Basque paitar or pattar which means liqueur and aran which means sloe. It is made by a maceration of sloes (enderina), the fuit of the blackthorn, with anisette, the aniseed flavoured liqueur, to create a liqueur that is both warming and refreshing. Bodegas Pacharan Azanza is a small, family company established since 1810 making it one of the oldest and best producers of pacharan. Pacharan Azanza has an I.G.P. designation ensuring that this product is authentically produced in the traditional manner. How is Pacaharan Served? It is usually served as a digestif either chilled or on ice or as part of a cocktail in white or sparkling wine. It can be drizzled over fresh berry fruits and vanilla ice cream to create a delicious dessert.. 70cl / 25% ABV

“Lovely aperitif, flavoured with sloes. Fantastic over ice. This is one of my favourite summer drinks, and pretty much impossible to get hold of in the UK. This is made by a smaller artisan company and tastes fantastic.”

“This is a tricky drink to source in the UK so thank you BASCO...it’s warming in the winter and refreshing with ice in the summer by itself. We halved some peaches and put them in an oven dish, drizzled over some runny honey and a splash of Patxaran. Served with a tad more...delicious!”

“So many levels of flavour! Delicious with ice as an aperitif, used with honey as a glaze for oven roasted peaches, a glass with cheese or coffee...so versatile and so delicious.”

“If you already know patxaran, you will love this as it meets all the expectations you might have. If you have never tried patxaran before, give it a try. It is different from most liqueurs known in UK. Serve with plenty of ice and enjoy the richness of the sloes.”

“Wonderful shopping experience. I found something that it was impossible to find in high street shops and it was cheaper than ordering from Spain. Great delivery service, fast, and neat packaging.”

“I have to confess to being a big patxaran fan. I had never seen this one before and - though a litle more expensive than usual - took a punt. It is a great drink, a little less sweet and cloying and with a more pronounced flavour of sloes than some more commonly available brands. And it even has a handful of sloes in the bottle. Highly recommended.”
