PiscoBrandy distilled from grapes and produced in either Peru or Chile. In Peru, there are eight allowable grapes and in Chile, there are three. Peruvian Pisco is distilled only once in a pot-still and no wood aging is allowed. Peruvian pisco cannot have any alterations including dilution.

Tasting Notes
"The aroma of this pisco is an intriguing combination of grape spirit and American oak; there's a very distinct woody fragrance thanks to extended rest in new barrels. One could imagine mistaking it for a young cognac, but a better one. Tasting this spirit suggests intriguing mixing possibilities -- perhaps using the pisco in place of brandy or bourbon in classic stirred cocktails -- but it's also quite enjoyable on its own."
