The Sloe
Pacharán is traditionally made by macerating sloes in anise. The sloe, known as arañón in Navarre, is the fruit of the Prunus spinosa bush, which we commonly call blackthorn. It belongs to the plum family but is much smaller in size, smaller than cherries. It is bluish black in colour and has an acidic and astringent flavour.

Its lack of sweetness is surprising, which is why it has never been consumed as a fruit.

Tasting Notes
Pacharán Navarro is made by macerating sloes in aniseed and, therefore, in the glass of Pacharán Zoco we will find the characteristics of its two ingredients perfectly integrated. We pour the glass of Pacharán Zoco and at first sight it presents itself with that red colour so closely linked to Navarra. A medium-intensity red, with a cherry hue that will evolve to brick tones as the pacharán acquires maturity. When we swirl it in the glass we perceive the density provided by the anise in the thick tears that form in the glass. The aroma of Pacharán Zoco is softly fruity on an aniseed background.

A dry, sweet-sour balance of Cocchi Vermouth, Tanqueray Gin, and Campari.

The History of Cocktails: Negroni
In 1919, Count Camillo Negroni would frequent the aristocratic Caffè Casoni in Florence, Italy. One day he wanted something a little bit stronger than his usual Americano. So he asked the barman Fosco Scarselli to add a little bit of Gin to his drink, rather than soda, in memory of his recent trips to London. This new cocktail became “The Usual” for the Count, but soon it became the “American Aperitif Count Negroni-style" for everyone else. In the 1950's the cocktail became very popular in Italy and, soon, all over the world. Ian Fleming mentioned the Negroni Cocktail in one of the 'James Bond' movies.

Named for a truck-driving, motorcycle-riding, bourbon-loving, hardworking whiskey man, Baker’s Single Barrel Bourbon is a singular experience. A big, bold bourbon that was created by one legend to honor another.

Every drop of bourbon in a Baker’s bottle comes from one single barrel. And once those bottles are gone, they’re gone. Which means you’ll discover layers of unique, subtle nuances in every bottle you pick up. That’s what makes Baker’s so special.

One thing that makes Baker’s unique is there’s not one particular location where it ages. With four campuses, a lot of differences can occur inside each barrel. For example, airflow, location of the rickhouse and dump date all play a part. Each barrel is tested. Only those that meet the highest quality standards are bottled.

Take the Baker’s Bourbon journey - Minimum 7 years, 107 proof
Baker has always believed the ideal bourbon is made according to three fundamental rules: First, it’s aged at least seven years because that’s the sweet spot for getting big vanilla notes from the charred oak barrel. Second, a great bourbon carries substantial flavor. And third, when he tries it, he better like it. These rules might seem simple, but they make for one hell of a bourbon.

Family Tasting Notes
The beauty of single barrel bourbons lies in the intensities and flavors that change with each barrel. So, one bottle might be smokey, while another might be more floral or peppery. While every barrel of Baker’s offers a unique tasting journey, you can expect some defining characteristics. Here are a few.

Nose: Fruit, vanilla and caramel.
Palate: Medium bodied with flavors of oak, toasted nuts and vanilla.
Finish: Robust flavors sit on the tongue for a while, warm and rounded.

Perfect for sipping neat or on the rocks, Baker’s 7 Year Old Single Barrel High Rye Bourbon is available through Royal Batch for those seeking a distinctive, high-quality whiskey.

The grapes are placed in wooden boxes, and left to dry in controlled humidity until February of the following year. After pressing, the traditional maceration takes place over a period of more than three weeks, which is followed by up to 3 years aging in the cellars.
