Caravedo Acholado Pisco is a type of pisco that is made from 100% fully fermented grape juice. This means that it is distilled from pure wine, with no pomace or grape skins included in the process. This results in a pure and clean spirit that showcases the natural flavors of the grapes.
One of the key characteristics of Caravedo Acholado Pisco is that it is rested for a minimum of nine months. This rest period is crucial as it allows the flavors to develop and mellow out. The rest period is divided into four months for each varietal used in the blend, and an additional five months after the assemblage of the different varietals.
What sets Caravedo Acholado Pisco apart is its commitment to purity. It contains no additives of any kind. This means that there is no color added, no water added, no sugar added, and no wood flavoring added. The resulting spirit is a true reflection of the grapes and the terroir in which they were grown.
As a sommelier and brewer, I have had the pleasure of tasting Caravedo Acholado Pisco and I can attest to its exceptional quality. The purity of the spirit allows the flavors of the grapes to shine through. On the nose, there are notes of ripe fruit, citrus, and floral undertones. On the palate, there is a beautiful balance of sweetness and acidity, with flavors of grapes, tropical fruits, and a hint of spice.
One of the things I appreciate about Caravedo Acholado Pisco is its versatility. It can be enjoyed neat, on the rocks, or used as a base for cocktails. Its clean and pure flavors make it a great choice for mixing in classic pisco cocktails such as the Pisco Sour or the Pisco Punch.
Caravedo Acholado Pisco is a meticulously crafted spirit made from 100% fully fermented grape juice. Its extended rest period and lack of additives result in a pure and flavorful pisco that showcases the natural flavors of the grapes. Whether enjoyed neat or in a cocktail, Caravedo Acholado Pisco is a true delight for the senses.
