'Spirits' (AKA 'hard liquor') is the term for all distilled alcohol - in fact, the name 'spirit' came from alchemists who believed the vapor of distillation was a 'spirit' of the original material. Technically 'spirits' and 'liqueurs' are different - spirits have no added sugar, while liqueurs do - but they tend to be lumped together. Virtually all known spirits were used as health tonics or elixirs at some point in history, but transmuted into good fun drinks over time. Many countries have their 'national' drink - gin, whisky, schnapps, grappa, ouzo, soju, vodka, rakia/rakija...there's quite a list. Experiments began with sugars and flavours - resulting in limoncello, cynar, Benedictine...that's an even longer list.

This is a Pisco made with carefully selected “aromatic” grapes, the “Italia” kind of grapes that you buy and are produced in Peru. Its scent is of attractive Muscat aromas which intensify when you savour it on the palate giving it a sense of sweetness. This Pisco couples strength and roundness. Great respect in the distillation process allows to preserve the fineness obtained in the long months of growth and maturation of these grapes.
