Waqar Pisco (700ml)

An unaged Pisco, made using hand-picked Alexandria Muscat and Pink Muscat grapes from Tulahuén, created by a family who have been producing pisco for five generations. Traditional copper and firewood alembics located at 1100 meters above sea level are employed. The nose is fragrant and winey with semi-sweet, floral-fruity notes including ripe pear and apple, hints of musk and mineral. Full-bodied with a nice balance and verve lifting the softer grape notes, especially through the warming, mildly fruity / elderflower-like finish. Like a spirituous incarnation of Alsatian Pinot Gris. 40% Alc./Vol.

Other reviews... The fragrance of this graceful and delicate artisan pisco resembles a fresh, minty breeze, with some fruit underneath. On the palate, violet notes come forward, but never overwhelm, fading into light ginger notes on the finish. So lightweight, the flavors almost feel like they’re drifting away off the tongue. This is one to sip and savor.
