Distiller Notes
Gentle and fruity aromas, with subtly sweet banana and ripe berry notes complemented by delicate citrus touches – lemon and lime. The citrus of the nose is mirrored on the palate, along with a range of dark and sweet flavors – fruity-but-bitter dark chocolate, pecan nuts and hints of candied peel. Seductively long finish with slowly fading citrus. Elegant and refined, with solid character. The long finish and sweetness on the palate make it perfect for crafting Pisco Sours.

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.
