Pronounced 'Thock-O' and first sold in 1956, Zoco is the oldest and leading brand of Pacharán, a Spanish liqueur made by macerating sloe berries collected from the blackthorn, in an anise-flavoured spirit (anisette).

Zoco was founded by the family of Ambrosio Velasco who had been producing patxaran in the Viana area since 1816. Marketed in a distinctive square bottle.
