TORONTEL PISCO PURO PDO, Peru |
Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
LA CARAVEDO |
Clear and colourless. Slightly spicy, Grappa-tinged nose with some ripe apple purée notes. Dry - seems a tad drier than the Quebranta - medium bodied, attractive, slightly spicy, faintly honeyed, ripe apple purée flavours with a lingering, harmonious finish. It is rare to get two single grape premium Pico Puro in a single Vintages release. Made from the Torontel grape this Pisco has has 41% alcohol with lot number ENV:12/17 LOT:15LCT2015 on the lower part of the glass bottle. Quite unique and impressive, this Double Gold Medal Torontel Pisco also won Best in Show for the Unaged White Spirit & Best Pisco category in the 2017 San Francisco World Spirits Competition. |

In addition to the Double Gold Medal, this pisco also won Best in Show for the Unaged White Spirit & Best Pisco category at the 2017 San Francisco World Spirits Competition. Peruvian pisco must be produced in small batches using copper pot stills and be unaged. Crafted from Torontel, a grape noted for the intensity of the fruit aromas it produces, this will be floral with impressive herbal dark fruit and mineral notes.
