Pisco 1615
Pisco 1615 is a renowned producer of high-quality Pisco, a unique grape-based spirit that is native to Peru and Chile. Founded in 2008, the brand is relatively young, but it has quickly gained recognition for its exceptional Pisco, which is made using traditional methods and the finest grapes from the Ica Valley in Peru.
The Ica Valley is located in the southern coast of Peru, an area known for its ideal climate and terroir for grape cultivation. The valley's sandy and rocky soil, combined with warm temperatures and oceanic breezes, create the perfect conditions for growing the Quebranta, Italia, and Torontel grapes used in Pisco production. These grapes are carefully handpicked and then distilled in traditional copper pot stills, resulting in a smooth and flavorful spirit that captures the essence of the region.
Pisco 1615 takes great pride in its commitment to preserving the traditional methods of Pisco production, which have been passed down for generations in Peru. The brand's name, 1615, is a tribute to the year when the first grape vines were brought to Peru by the Spanish conquistadors, marking the beginning of Pisco production in the country. This rich history and dedication to traditional techniques are reflected in every bottle of Pisco 1615.
The brand offers a range of Pisco expressions, including the flagship Acholado, a blend of Quebranta, Italia, and Torontel grapes that is aged for a minimum of three years. This Pisco has a smooth and complex flavor profile, with hints of tropical fruits, citrus, and floral notes. The brand also produces a variety of single grape Piscos, such as Quebranta, Italia, Torontel, and Mosto Verde, each with its own distinctive characteristics and flavors.
Pisco 1615 has received numerous awards and accolades for its exceptional Pisco, including a gold medal at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition and a double
Pisco 1615
Pisco 1615 is a Peruvian pisco producer whose name references the year Spanish colonists are believed to have first distilled pisco in the Ica Valley region of Peru. The brand positions itself within Peru's pisco tradition, producing grape-based spirits under the Denominación de Origen Pisco, which legally requires production within specific coastal and valley regions of Peru using authorised grape varieties and traditional distillation methods.
Peruvian pisco is distilled from fermented grape must and, unlike Chilean pisco, must be bottled at its natural distillation strength without the addition of water. It is produced as either a Puro (single variety), Acholado (a blend of varieties), or Mosto Verde (distilled from partially fermented must). The Quebranta grape, a non-aromatic variety developed in Peru from Spanish rootstock, is one of the most widely planted permitted varieties and forms the basis of many Puro expressions. It typically yields piscos with earthy, stone fruit, and subtle herbal characteristics.
The Quebranta Puro in their range reflects this tradition directly, a single-variety expression made entirely from Quebranta grapes, offering a straightforward example of Peru's most emblematic pisco grape and a useful reference point for understanding the category.
