Peru‘s Pisco

Pisco is the clear brandy that Peruvians have enjoyed for 450 years. Through the popularity of the refreshing pisco sour, a lime-laced drink known in bars everywhere, pisco is enjoying some well-deserved fame.

According to Schuler, Peruvians owe this beloved beverage to the requirements of the Catholic Church.
