Pisco is a colorless or yellowish-to-amber colored spirit[1] produced in winemaking regions of Peru[2] and Chile.[3] Made by distilling fermented grape juice into a high-proof spirit, it was developed by 16th-century Spanish settlers as an alternative to orujo, a pomace brandy that was being imported from Spain.[4] It had the advantages of being produced from abundant domestically grown fruit and reducing the volume of alcoholic beverages transported to remote locations.[5]
