BarSol Acholado Pisco

Pisco — Peru

Reviewed February 23, 2021 (edited February 24, 2021)
3.5
3.5 out of 5 stars
Extremely different from my wheelhouse. Fresh, sweet, round, and floral. Apricot and honeydew. Jasmine. Fresh white grape must. Quite distinct from aged spirits, there is a saccharine stevia sweetness that is inescapable, yet underneath that my tastebuds toggle between yeasty hefeweizen beer, Medjool dates, sweet simple syrup, and crisp green bean vegetal notes. Raw egg white. Agree whole-heartedly with the reviewer's oolong - somewhere between green and oxidized tea. Everything works surprisingly well but is totally in left field versus my expectations and preferences. The youth and single distillation seem to reinforce the impression of unaged spirit, but cohesive and soft, without any prevailing ethanol note that one would expect. I have to peg this as a success because most of the factors I could construe as detractors seem to be based in my lack of familiarity rather than a lack of quality. Fresh, young, vibrant, and inescapably floral, this is clearly a good value. I'll need to continue my pisco education.

    @PBMichiganWolverine. I'd be happy to send a few samples. My wife and I first tried Pisco at a Peruvian restaurant in London a few years ago. I enjoyed it, but she loved it. We now have about a half dozen bottles.

    @bigwhitemike. I like the "vibrant and spunky" description. I'd say it's vibrant in the same sense that a great tequila can be.

    @PBMichiganWolverine pisco sour with egg white and a few drops of bitters on the foam seems to be the standard presentation but it’s a chic choice on a number of cocktail menus... sort of the vibrant and spunky cousin to traditional grape brandy/cognac.

    Never had pisco - must correct that. Thanks for the review - very helpful.
