Talk:Patxaran

Merge?
Would this work better merged with sloe gin? FlagSteward 00:40, 26 September 2007 (UTC)


 * It's a pretty distinct beverage, both in taste and culture. Patxaran has a strong flavor of anise, whereas sloe gin has a strong flavor of, well, gin (at least traditionally). They do share one ingredient (the sloe berries), but otherwise aren't very much alike. --Delirium 07:14, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

Name?
Shouldn't it be the Spanish name "Pacharan", I frankly have never heard of the basque name.

I agree with the above. First, the name in Spanish is Pacharán, as it appears in most of the labels that we can see in bottles belonging to "Consejo Regulador del Pacharán Navarro", it also appears in the oldest and most popular trademark, ZOCO. Second, in google there are 96.000 entries for pacharán versus 81000 for patxaran. Third, the "Consejo Regulador del Pacharán Navarro" the sole official organism for this beverage has Pacharán in its name, and has no mention, as far as I know, to Patxaran in its web site. Fourth, Navarra, Pacharán's birth region, is mainly Spanish speaker, with less than 10% of Basque speakers. Sixth, the name that appears in the label of Etxeko, is "Patxarana". Hence, Patxaran, doesn't seem to be the appropriate name for this drink. I suggest a change for the name of the article.
