Capurro Quebranta Pisco 750ml
From the sun-drenched vineyards of the Ica Valley in Peru comes Capurro Quebranta Pisco, a distinguished expression of Peru's national spirit. Crafted by the esteemed Pisco distiller, José Luis Capurro, this spirit is a pure, single-distilled "puro" pisco made exclusively from the non-aromatic Quebranta grape.
In accordance with Peruvian law, this pisco is never aged in wood, ensuring that the vibrant character of the grape shines through unmasked. Quebranta is known for its robust and earthy qualities, which are masterfully captured in this bottle. Capurro's dedication to traditional methods and his respect for the terroir produce a pisco that is both powerful and elegantly smooth, making it a favorite among pisco enthusiasts and a versatile spirit for both sipping and cocktails.
Tasting Notes:
- Appearance: Crystal clear and brilliant, with a silky, viscous texture that is evident as it coats the glass. It forms a beautiful "lagrima" or "pisco tears" that slowly descend the sides, a visual sign of its quality.
- Aroma: The nose is surprisingly complex for a non-aromatic grape varietal. It opens with an earthy and slightly herbal bouquet, featuring notes of hay, fresh-cut grass, and a hint of white pepper. This is followed by a rich undercurrent of baked pear and golden raisins, suggesting a subtle sweetness and depth. The aroma is clean and inviting, with no hint of harshness.
- Flavor: The initial taste is full-bodied and robust, delivering a powerful yet smooth warmth. The earthy notes from the aroma carry through to the palate, complemented by a distinct minerality and a touch of ripe fruit like dried figs and green apple. A peppery spice awakens the back of the palate, leading to a long and memorable finish.
- Mouthfeel: Capurro Quebranta Pisco has a wonderfully smooth and oily texture that feels substantial on the tongue. It’s warm without being fiery, and the dry, clean finish leaves the palate refreshed and ready for the next sip.
This is an outstanding example of a Quebranta pisco. It perfectly captures the essence of the grape, offering a spirit that is both complex enough for thoughtful sipping and powerful enough to hold its own in a classic Pisco Sour. Its clean, earthy profile makes it a standout choice for those who appreciate the true, unadulterated flavor of the grape.

What is the difference between Tequila & Mezcal?
Tequila is a type of mezcal, much like how scotch and bourbon are types of whiskey.
Tequila and mezcal are both types of agave-based spirits that are popular in Mexico, but there are some key differences between the two. Tequila is made exclusively from the blue agave plant, which is primarily grown in the area surrounding the city of Tequila, about 40 miles northwest of Guadalajara. Mezcal, on the other hand, can be made from any type of agave plant, and is often made using traditional, labor-intensive methods.
One of the most noticeable differences between tequila and mezcal is their flavor. Tequila is typically smooth and subtle, with hints of fruit and spices, while mezcal has a more complex, smoky flavor that comes from the roasting of the agave hearts before they are fermented and distilled.
Another difference between the two spirits is their production process. Tequila is typically made using modern industrial methods, while mezcal is often produced using traditional techniques that have been passed down for generations. This can give mezcal a more authentic, artisanal character.
In general, tequila is considered to be a more refined and sophisticated spirit, while mezcal is often viewed as a more rustic and traditional drink. Both are popular in Mexico and are enjoyed around the world, so the best way to decide which one you like is to try them both and see which one suits your tastes.
