Pisco:
Pisco is a tasty and clear brandy distilled from fermented
grape juice. Considered Peru's national drink, its origins
go back to the XVI century, when it was first produced
by the Spaniards from quebranta grapes (a variation
of Muscat), growing in the vineyards of the Ica Valley.
Its name probably comes from the Pisco port, in Ica,
some 250 km south of Lima. More information on our Pisco
& Drinks page.
