Pisco is as Peruvian as llamas and arroz con pollo. Pisco Capel is an all natural grape spirit produced in northern Chile. It is a blend of 30% Muscat grapes and 70% Pedro Jimenez and Torontel grapes, then aged in wooden casks for four to six months. It is slowly distilled with the crystal-clear water from the high Andes Mountains, resulting in a transparent spirit with delicate bouquet. A Peruvian meal is not complete without a pisco sour. The pisco sour is a cocktail made with a shot of pisco, a sprinkle of sugar, a bit of egg white and a splash of lime juice, then either blended or served over crushed ice, with a dash of bitters.
Capel Pisco
While Pisco originated in Peru, the Chileans are justifiably proud of their own Pisco brands, and are quick to share them with newcomers. Since this site is dedicated to Chile, my focus here is on Chilean Pisco. Chilean Pisco is an aged, fermented drink made from the Muscatel grape. The largest producer of Pisco is the Capel company located in the Elqui Valley on the outskirts of Vicuña about an hour's drive from La Serena.

More Info!
The origins of the word pisco can be traced to pre-colonial Peru. In the quechua language, the birds that inhabited the valleys of the Ica region were called pisco, pisku, phishgo, pichiu or pisccu (pisqu' in modern quechua alphabet).
The valley that was later to be named Pisco was settled by people who, during the Inca Empire were to become known as piskos.
Pure Pisco, made from a single variety of grape, mostly Quebranta, although Mollar or Common Black can be used, however, no blending between varietes is accepted, "Pure" Pisco should contain only one variety of grape.
One of the main products they provided were the containers used to store beverages. These containers were also known as piskos. The first grape brandy to be produced was stored in piskos, and as time went by, the beverage came to be known by the name given to its container.
