Tasting Notes
"This is a fairly neutral pisco (not too surprising as it is made with a non-aromatic grape varietal) with the aroma coming off like a mix between new make whiskey and a pisco. There's a slight musky aroma, but it is only a slight one. A fair amount of green herbs comes off the aroma as well. The pisco is medium-full on the palate and is more about green grape skins and just enough sweetness to round it off. The finish is bittersweet and very lightly nutty. Pleasant enough, though."
