A few years later, in 1844, the Licores Baines distillery was founded, selling Pacharan, Brandy and Herbal liqueurs to the Navarre region and beyond. Baines have had nearly 200 years to perfect their art and their sturdily tasty drinks are as popular as ever. As with the bull run, prepare for impact!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePacharan Laxoa by Baines presents a clean, visually striking intense red colour in the glass. On the nose, it introduces a beautiful freshness marked by a balanced acidity, delivering vibrant aromas of ripe red berries layered with a delicate hint of sweet caramel. The palate is beautifully structured, round, and luxurious. It offers a velvety, unctuous mouthfeel where the bright flavours of natural sloe berries intertwine smoothly with a gentle aniseed undertone. This leads into a persistent, rewarding aftertaste that echoes the natural fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEstate History \u0026amp; Distilling Methods\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLicores Baines is a historic cornerstone of Spanish liqueur production, established in Pamplona in 1844. For generations, the distillery has preserved its celebrated heritage, crafting spirits that have earned it an Artisan Diploma from the regional government of Navarre.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo craft the Laxoa expression, Baines honours true medieval traditions. The finest, locally sourced navarrandrinas (wild sloe berries) are harvested from the countryside and carefully submerged into a premium, anise-infused spirit. The berries undergo a patient, restful maceration process for a minimum of three months, allowing the fruit to naturally impart its rich ruby hue, balanced structure, and iconic flavour profile without any artificial intervention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProduct Specifications\u003cbr\u003e•    Bottle Size: 100 cl\u003cbr\u003e•    Alcohol by Volume: 25% ABV\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eServing \u0026amp; Cocktail Suggestions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e•    The Perfect Serve: To experience Laxoa in its truest form, serve it thoroughly chilled (ideally between 6–8°C) on its own, or poured over a few large cubes of ice in a wide balloon glass as a traditional digestif.\u003cbr\u003e•    Laxoa \u0026amp; Tonic: For a refreshing, low-abv afternoon alternative to a gin and tonic, combine 50ml of Pacharan Laxoa with premium tonic water in a highball glass filled with ice.
