Distiller Notes
BarSol Acholado Pisco (formerly Selecto Acholado Pisco) offers ripe vine and orchard fruit aromas, with tree blossom, honeysuckle and summer meadows. The fruit from the nose is amplified on the palate, with both sweetness and tartness, and is joined by pecan nuts and delicate ground spice notes. Soft and delicate, with the fruit and spice from the palate slowly fading to a sweet end. Produced from a combination of Quebranta, Italia and Torontel grapes, the Acholado brings together the character of all three to give a delicate by complex pisco.
Essentially a South American take on Brandy, Pisco is made in the wine-growing regions of Chile and Peru through a single distillation of fermented grape juice (wine) in copper pot stills. The result is a clear to amber colored high-proof spirit whose flavor and aroma can vary dramatically depending on the grape varieties used. Furthermore, up to 27 pounds of grapes can be required to make just one 750ml bottle of Pisco! It is most often enjoyed in one of the many cocktails created especially for it, such as the Pisco Sour, Serena Libre or Pisco Punch.
