Pisco is a colorless or yellowish-to-amber colored brandy produced in winemaking regions of Peru and Chile. Made by distilling grape wine 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. Peruvian pisco peculiarity is that the first part of the distillation (called the heads) is kept and mixed in with the rest of the distillate. Re-adding the 'heads' adds more 'character', and is how Peruvians traditionally liked it.
