As you’ve probably noted following our site, and our Facebook page, we Boozeniks are pretty big fans of pisco. We’ve reviewed 5 piscos, with hopefully more on the way, and featured it in several cocktails. (See all our reviews and cocktails here).
This year we’re especially looking forward to a couple events at Tales of the Cocktail aimed at furthering our knowledge, and our palate, for pisco, the spirit of the Andes:
- Tuesday: Portón’s Glacial MasqueradeJoin Portón a masquerade by the pool with cocktails, authentic bites, Peruvian beats, and festive masks.
- Wednesday: Pisco Pavilion come and taste some of the spirits which are making pisco one of the fastest growing categories in the U.S.
- Thursday: Pisco Wars: Peru vs. Chile since 1613 for a trip through the history of the two nations where pisco can be made, as they battle it out for who makes the best.
