Pisco is a liquor distilled from grapes and made in wine-producing regions of Peru and Chile. It is the most widely consumed spirit in Bolivia, Chile and Peru. Pisco actually means little bird,During the 18th and 19th centuries, pisco was a mainstay on ocean-crossing vessels, drunk mostly by sailors, as officers usually drank whisky or other "finer" spirits. It was most popular during the 18th and 19th Centuries because of its low price and high availability. This the case until rum arrived, this won the battle with lower prices and a softer flavor.
The art of Pisco making is still carried on in these regions
A brand called Pisco ABA uses only the best Muscat grapes from a designated area in the Elqi Valley, in the high, clear Chilean Andes.
There is a web store called thedrinkshop.com where you can purchase the drink by mail order.
