Barsol Quebranta Pisco

Barsol Quebranta Pisco hails from the Ica Valley in Peru, a historic heartland for pisco production. Founded in 2002 by Diego Loret de Mola and Carlos Ferreyros, BarSol revived the historic Bodega San Isidro, a distillery with roots stretching back to the 1800s, some records even show its existence to 1919. This isn't some new fleeting trend; pisco itself dates back to the 16th century in Peru, and BarSol honors this heritage by adhering to traditional pisco pot distillation methods practiced since the 1500s. The brand is known for its commitment to quality and authenticity, crafting its piscos in small batches and bottling them at the historic Bodega San Isidro. Notably, BarSol distills its Quebranta Pisco from 100% Quebranta grapes, a non-aromatic varietal that's considered classic and is the most widely used grape in Peruvian pisco. They distill to proof, meaning no water is added after distillation, preserving the pure expression of the grape.

Barsol Quebranta Pisco offers a clean, earthy profile with hints of ripe pear and dried fruit, a hallmark of the single Quebranta grape. It brings a robust, slightly savory character to cocktails, shining particularly well in sours like the classic Pisco Sour or a Pisco Punch, lending structure without overpowering other ingredients.

Barsol Quebranta Pisco offers faint smoky pear and hay on the nose, leading to a palate of vanilla cream biscuits, green grapes, and a touch of black pepper spice. The finish is round and elegantly long, with lingering notes of ripe pear and raspberry.
