Atxa Pacharán Sierra de Orduña

NOTES
Anise liqueur infused with wild harvested sloe berries

Pacharán comes from the Sierra de Orduña in Alava. It is made from local sloe berries that grow wild in the hillsides that surround Artomaña Valley vineyards. These berries are then macerated with an alcohol that has been distilled five times. Another batch of this alcohol is used to macerate three types of anise and is then distilled once more. Once both macerations are complete, these two products are blended with sugar and alcohol to create Pacharán Sierra de Orduña. A traditional drink in the region, it is used as a digestif after a large meal, served in a brandy snifter over large cubed ice.
