On this #ViernesVegano I'll toast with a #Pisco #Tonic.⁠ .⁠ Did you know tonic water has antimalarial medicinal properties? The quinine in tonic water originally came from the bark of Peru's cinchona tree, aka the #fevertree.⁠ .⁠ A legend tells the story of a duchess that was ill but cured after drinking water infused with quinine. Jesuit priests brought the bark back to Europe and spread the cure.⁠ .⁠ The cinchona tree is so famous in Peru that it's illustrated in the Peruvian flag. Quinine, and tonic water, is just one example of how Peru saved the world. Cheers to that!⁠ .⁠ 2 oz. pisco #Quebranta varietal or #Acholado blend⁠ juice from 1/4 #lime⁠ #tonicwater such as @fevertree⁠ ice⁠ pink peppercorns⁠ orange peel⁠ thyme sprig⁠ .⁠ Fill half of a #wine glass with ice.

    We have been thoroughly enjoying spotlighting #Pis We have been thoroughly enjoying spotlighting #Pisco brands in an effort to #learn and #share more about them. . @pisco1615 elaborates single #varietal piscos (Pisco Puro) from #Quebranta, #Italia, and #Torontel grapes. Those are all blended with #Albilla for their blend (Acholado). All grapes are from their own Pisco Valley #vineyards. . They also have a line of Mosto Verde Piscos. #MostoVerde is a type of Pisco that is distilled from an interrupted fermentation and literally translates as “unripe” #must, or unready #wine. As a result, there are significant amounts of residual #sugars that once #distilled leave a silky #mouthfeel and luscious fruit flavors. Definitely be on the lookout for these! . Pisco 1615 #exports to 12 countries worldwide and has become a #bartender favorite. .

    Let's take a trip to the #vineyards of @pisco1615! Let's take a trip to the #vineyards of @pisco1615!! ⁠ .⁠ Located in the Pisco Valley of #Ica, where more than 400 years ago Jesuit nuns began cultivating #grapevines. ⁠ .⁠ The name “Pisco 1615,” is significant because it commemorates the year that "The First New Chronicle and Good Government" by the indigenous chronicler, Felipe Guaman Poma de Ayala was published, the most extensive manuscript from South America during the colonial period. In it, he mentions the production of grapevines, #wines, and #aguardientes (not yet called Pisco) in the Pisco Valley. ⁠ .⁠ Have you tried Pisco 1615?

    Process matters. ⁠ .⁠ @piscologiapisco uses cr Process matters. ⁠ .⁠ @piscologiapisco uses craft methods in the vineyards and throughout the Pisco making process. ⁠ .⁠ No industrial #viticulture practices, no fertilizers or excess chemicals are used, and the vines are irrigated by #freshwater runoff from the #Andes. ⁠ .⁠ The #estate-grown grapes are harvested by hand, meaning that each grape that goes into the #Pisco is #hand-selected. ⁠ .⁠ The grapes are pressed by a traditional foot press and a secondary mechanical press to extract every last bit of the sweet #grape juice.⁠ .⁠ The #sugar-rich juice mingles with #native yeasts for a #natural fermentation - a #non-interventionist #wine making process and what producer, Nati Gordillo, considers the truest expression of her vineyards' #terroir.⁠ .⁠ The #Pisco making process completes with a #single-distillation and a minimum of three months #resting in neutral vessels. ⁠ .⁠ The grape skins [pictured] will go back into the #vineyards as compost. ⁠ .⁠ Salud #pisconauts! ⁠ .⁠ Stay tuned for more producer highlights! ⁠ #ThePiscoSoicety #mequedoencasa #stayhome #producer #distiller #ella #craftpisco #naturalpisco #Azpitia #Peru
    Small businesses are being crushed under the weigh Small businesses are being crushed under the weight of this global pandemic and #Pisco brands will be among those taking the hit. We hope that by sharing the stories of the #producers and their #brands we can help contribute to their #resilience and #longevity in the market. ⁠ .⁠ Today, we are thrilled to continue highlighting @piscologiapisco, and more specifically their Pisco #Acholado. ⁠ .⁠ PiscoLogía's Acholado is an uplifting #blend of #estate-grown #Quebranta and #Italia grapes. Balanced, creamy, fruit-forward with a pop of #eucalyptus. It truly is perfect mixed or sipped #neat.⁠ .⁠ #PiscoLogía is distributed in the US, Canada, Japan, and Hong Kong - if you can, grab a bottle in support of this small lady-owned brand. ⁠ .⁠ Salud amigos #pisqueros!! ⁠ .⁠ #ThePiscoSociety #supportsmallbrands #supportwomenownedbrands ##supportwomenownedbusinesses #piscofever #socialdistancednotpiscodistanced #craftpisco #ladyowned #uvas
