Barsol Pisco Acholado

Barsol Pisco Acholado is a blended pisco from BarSol, produced at the historic Bodega San Isidro in Peru's Ica Valley. Acholado means a blend of grape varieties: here piscos distilled from Quebranta, Italia and Torontel grapes of the Ica region are combined in roughly 65-70% Quebranta, 20% Italia and 10% Torontel, with the master blender keeping the exact recipe confidential. The idea is to unite the body of Quebranta with the aromatic lift of the two perfumed varieties. Like all BarSol piscos, it is made from grape wine only, with no water or other ingredients added. Bottled at 41.3% ABV in a 750ml bottle, it is a versatile pisco for sours and long drinks.
