Pisco, a brandy traditionally distilled from Quebranta grapes, is a liquor enjoyed in Peru. Pisco is a delicious, distinct brandy, and the essential ingredient for the Pisco Sour.
"The earliest historical reference about the preparation of this grape “aguardiente” in Peru dates back to the beginnings of the 17th century. The well-known Peruvian historian Lorenzo Huertas states that: 'We have found a document from 1613 which refers to the preparation of "aguardiente” (from grape) in Ica. This date may be one of the earliest references to the preparation of Pisco not only in Peru but also in America.' " Peruvians furthermore see Pisco, the drink, as inherently Peruvian because it is based on a word in Quechua meaning "flying bird" and because Pisco was the name of a city in Peru.
February 8 was the day of the Pisco Sour, the Peruvian national drink of exquisite taste. Thousands of Peruvians in different cities celebrated for several days.
Famous brands like Biondi, Huarangal, Ocucaje, Santiago Queirolo and Tacama participated by offering their products.
At the Pisco Bar in Lima, the celebration lasted around the clock for two days. The bar offered 30 types of Pisco drinks.
