Zoco is the oldest commercial brand, first sold in 1956, founded by the family of Ambrosio Velasco, who had been producing pacharan-patxaran in the Viana area since 1816 and now owned by Pernod Ricard. Pacharan-Patxaran is a sloe flavored liquor from Navarre, commonly drunk in the Basque Country and in the rest of Spain. It is essentially sloe gin. Pacharan-Patxaran is made by soaking sloe berries, collected from the blackthorn, in an anise flavored spirit, anisette, with a small number of coffee beans and a vanilla pod for several months. It results in a light reddish brown sweet liquid, between 25 and 30 percent alcohol. It is served cold or on ice as a digestif. Pacharan-Patxaran was essentially a home made liquor of rural Navarre, but became popular in the late 19th century. It was commercialized in the 1950s and became very popular outside Navarre.
