An Acholado pisco is made from a blend of two or more the eight allowed pisco grape varietals. Each Acholado pisco tastes different because of the type of grapes used, the way the grape juices are blended and the terroir that affects the flavour of the grapes. And not all producers use all of the grape varieties allowed. In addition the master distiller of each brand blends their Acholado choosing any of the eight grapes in whatever percentage of each they like. This is where the family recipes come into play. Acholado recipes are passed down through generations and are carefully guarded secrets! While the labelling requires them to list the grape varietals used they almost never reveal the percentages of those varietals in the final products.

Demonio De Los Andes Description

Pisco is the result of the distillation of alcohols obtained after the exclusive fermentation of the ripe grapes, according to traditionnal methods.

The Pisco is the traditional wine eau de vie of Peru. The originality of the Pisco is due to the ideal terroir and to the mode of elaboration authentic, exclusively from the wort of wine. The mature grape is pressed, the wort obtained is purified and then fermented. After transformation into alcohol, the wort is distilled in stills.

Pisco Demonio is produced by the company Vina Tacama in the Ica region south of Lima in the Pisco valleys.

Pisco Acholado is made from an exclusive selection of grape varieties from our vineyards such as Quebranta, Albilla, Torontel, Moscatel and Italia, centuries-old varieties from Tacama that traditionally have been used to produce the best Pisco from Peru.

The sugary scent is reminiscent of grape soda, but the flavor is bold and grappa-like, with sweet notes up front and a pleasingly astringent finish. Kara Newman, 6/1/2011.
