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.
