Why take this SommClass?
What kind of alcohol is pisco?
Pisco is a type of brandy, which is to say that it's a spirit distilled from wine or fermented fruit juice. Beyond that, it's far removed from, and in some ways even diametrically opposed to, the type of brandy that most people conjure up in their heads, namely, well-aged Cognac.
What does Pisco taste like?
Simply put, pisco is a type of brandy, or distilled grape wine. It's a clear(ish), higher-proof spirit, clocking in anywhere from 60 to 100 proof, and often features a fresh bouquet of aromatics and a touch of sweetness on the palate (though some piscos can taste more bitter or herbaceous).
Is Pisco like tequila?
Pisco is technically and unaged brandy obtained from the distillation of recently fermented Peruvian grape musts and juices. Some say its like Grappa because both are made from grapes. Others relate it to Tequila because of its similar herbal and almost earthy flavours.
What is Pisco similar to?
Gourmet Sleuth recommends substituting white tequila for pisco when making this beverage. White tequila works best as a direct substitute for non-aromatic piscos made from Quebranta grapes, according to the Latin Kitchen. It may not work as well if your recipe calls for a Mostatel or Italia-based pisco.
What is the best pisco?
Macchu Pisco ($27) Campo de Encanto Grand and Noble Pisco ($38) Barsol Primero Quebranta Pisco $28. Kappa Pisco $34. Frísco Unaged American Brandy $35.
