Description
Pisco — the Peruvian (and Chilean) grape brandy distilled from specific grape varieties in specific regions — is both the national drink and a culinary ingredient in the Peruvian kitchen. Understanding its character (the un-aged distillate preserves the grape's primary aromatic compounds far more directly than cognac or whisky) and its applications in cooking (ceviche finishing, marinades, sauces) is understanding a flavour vocabulary specific to Peru.
