Enrique Sanchez recommends Barsol Quebranta Pisco. “It’s one of my favorites, with a great history and family behind it. It’s smooth, aromatic, and elegantly versatile—perfect as an after-dinner drink or as the base for a charming cocktail—with a grassy, sun-kissed freshness and hints of cinnamon, pecans, papaya, a little of yeast, and pear. Made at the historic Bodega San Isidro, this is a beautiful masterpiece from the distiller.”

“Pisco is an underrated brandy and an unaged one at that. It's distilled to proof, so there’s no adding water, and the wines used before distilling are never an afterthought. Fermenting a delicious wine before distilling is always the point of pisco,” says Chris Hannah. “It’s a fun spirit to work with because its herbaceous and floral notes are so beautiful in cocktails! And one I particularly enjoy working with is Barsol Quebranta Pisco.”
