Pisco

Another first when we followed dinner on Saturday night with a digestif in the Bar de Pisco .
Our first introduction to Pisco (Chile's national spirit – a distilled grape juice)was at home where Gerry used to make us Pisco Sours as an aperitif and I had assumed that it was just the local Chilean or Peruvian firewater only to be mixed in cocktails.
How wrong can you be – like Whiskey or Whisky or Brandy or Grappa or Tequila there is a wide variety of qualities and tastes. As you would expect, the Bar de Pisco had a wonderful selection and while Linda settled for a cocktail I went straight for the smooth sipping stuff. So good we went back again on Sunday as well and got some tips on which Pisco distilleries to visit when we are in the Elqui valley next week.
