Azanza 1810 Pacharan Liqueur 1L 25% (Spain)
🌿 Azanza 1810 Pacharan Liqueur Navarro Artesano is a Spanish sloe liqueur made by Licores Azanza in Abárzuza, Navarra. This expression comes in a one-litre bottle at 25% ABV. Its deep ruby colour, rectangular bottle and black-and-gold presentation give it a distinctive identity, while the fruit-led character offers an introduction to one of Navarra’s traditional drinks.
🫐 Selected sloes are macerated in an anise-flavoured spirit, then separated from the liquid. Sloes are the small dark fruits of the blackthorn, also known locally as endrinas or arañones; they are not grapes or ordinary sweet cherries. The combination brings together fruit and anise rather than the juniper-led profile of gin. Azanza describes this particular J.V. 1810 expression as smooth and fruity.
🏅 The producer identifies J.V. 1810 as a winner of the award for best Navarre pacharán from the sommeliers’ club, with the winery dating the recognition to 2012. Azanza also belongs to the Pacharán Navarro quality-control system. These are different distinctions: the tasting award recognises the drink, while the geographical designation connects it to its regional production tradition.
🧊 Our serving suggestion is Azanza 1810 Pacharan Liqueur a small measure, lightly chilled, in a clean tasting glass. Try it on its own first to appreciate the relationship between sloe fruit and anise. If you prefer a longer drink, add a little soda water gradually rather than overpowering the liqueur with several mixers. The one-litre format is a single bottle, not a gift set or a multi-bottle case.
