1615 Pisco Puro Quebranta is a Pisco from the 1615 Pisco brand crafted in Peru.
1615 Pisco Puro Quebranta is a single-varietal pisco made exclusively from Quebranta grapes, offering a robust and earthy flavor profile with notes of ripe banana and green apple. Interestingly, the Quebranta grape is a non-aromatic variety that was created by Spanish colonists in the 16th century by crossing two European grape varieties, making it one of the few grape varieties native to the Americas.
1615 Pisco Puro Quebranta stands out for its single-grape composition, made exclusively from the robust Quebranta grape variety, which gives it a distinctive earthy character and full body. Unlike rum, which is distilled from sugarcane byproducts, this Peruvian pisco is crafted through a meticulous process of fermenting and distilling fresh grape juice, resulting in a spirit that captures the pure essence of its terroir and showcases the unique qualities of the Quebranta grape.
1615 Pisco Puro Quebranta shines when sipped neat or on the rocks, allowing its robust, earthy character to take center stage. This versatile pisco also excels in citrus-forward cocktails, making it perfect for warm summer evenings, while its full body and subtle fruitiness pair beautifully with Peruvian ceviche or grilled seafood dishes.
Nose: Clean and crisp with fresh grape aromas. Subtle notes of green apple and pear, alongside hints of white pepper and dried herbs. A faint mineral quality reminiscent of wet stones emerges as the spirit opens up.
Palate: Smooth and full-bodied. Ripe grape flavors dominate, accompanied by touches of citrus zest and green banana. A gentle warmth carries notes of toasted almonds and vanilla. The texture is pleasantly oily with a slight grip.
Finish: Medium-long and warming. Grape notes linger, joined by a pleasant earthiness and a touch of spice. A subtle sweetness reminiscent of toffee appears briefly before fading to a clean, dry conclusion with a whisper of white flowers.
1615 Pisco Puro Quebranta is crafted using only the Quebranta grape variety, which is fermented and then distilled in copper pot stills to create a pure, unaged spirit. What's fascinating about this pisco's production is that it's distilled to proof, meaning no water is added after distillation, resulting in a robust flavor profile that truly captures the essence of the Quebranta grape.
