Episode #086 - Pisco Cocktails - a podcast by Speaking Easy: Makers of Cocktails and Lovers of Home Entertaining

This week on the Speaking Easy Podcast, Alex and Jordan head south for the border, to South America, to visit with one of the great unaged spirits of the globe, Pisco. This (typically) colorless brandy is made in Peru and Chile, and in the Peruvian version, made in pot stills, similar to scotch or Irish whiskey. And because it's made from grapes, the "terroir" of the region--the coastal areas of these countries play a role in the flavor. And in the United States, pisco had been drunk by pioneers looking to make a fortune during the Gold Rush of the mid-to-late 1800s. So there's a lot to explore.
