EGIAZKI - Patxaran - Artisan Aniseed Sloe Liqueur - 25%
Egiazki designs and produces authentic Basque spirits in Saint Pée sur Nivelle, in the heart of the Basque Country. Founded by the passionate twins Camille and Benjamin Fourt Arteaga, this family business fully controls its production, having planted 825 sloe bushes in Navarre, specially dedicated to making Egiazki Patxaran. Their commitment to quality and authenticity drives them to become recognized experts in Basque liqueurs, skillfully combining ancestral tradition with innovative modernity. Thanks to constant research for unique recipes and carefully selected local producers, their range has significantly expanded, now including notable references such as Manzana, Patxaka, Jinkoa, and Menta.
The Patxaran, the emblematic liqueur of the Southern Basque Country, originating from Navarre, takes its name from the Basque word "Basarana" meaning wild plum. Historically, this liqueur was a family secret, with each household having a unique traditional recipe. Egiazki's recipe perfectly respects this ancestral know-how by using the slow maceration of carefully selected wild sloes in a high-quality aniseed alcohol, also called "anisette." This natural blend is made in stainless steel vats, where it macerates between 5 and 10 months depending on the perfect degree of flavor extraction. This artisanal process guarantees a delicate, balanced, and richly aromatic liqueur, symbolizing a preserved tradition and an exceptional terroir.
