PISCO IS AN INSEPARABLE PART OF THE PERUVIAN CULTURE<\/h2>\n
<\/div>\n
\n
Peruvian Pisco is the elixir of life for Peruvians. They are very proud of their national drink and like to enjoy it in a Peruvian\u00a0Pisco Sour<\/a>.<\/div>\n
In honor of the Peruvian Pisco as well as the Peruvian Pisco Sour, ministry resolutions were issued on official Pisco commemoration days, which are always a reason for exuberant celebrations - of course with lots of Peruvian Pisco. The day of the Pisco \"D\u00eda del pisco\" is celebrated in Peru on the fourth Sunday in July, on the first Saturday in February the day of the (Peruvian) Pisco Sours \"D\u00eda del pisco sour\".<\/div>\n

THE PERUVIAN GOVERNMENT STRICTLY MONITORS THE QUALITY OF PERUVIAN PISCO<\/h2>\n
\n
As early as 1991, Peru issued a \"Supreme Decree\", which in particular prescribes quality-relevant aspects of the production of Peruvian pisco in the form of a technical standard. This defined a kind of \"Pisco Purity Law\" for Peruvian Pisco.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

PERUVIAN PISCO MAY ONLY BE PRODUCED ACCORDING TO TRADITIONAL METHODS<\/h2>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n
In 2006, this technical standard, which all pisco produced in Peru must comply with, was last updated. The regulation clarifies that Peruvian Pisco is the distillate of the recently fermented fresh must of the Pisco grapes. Thus, contrary to popular belief, Peruvian pisco is not a pomace! Likewise, the technical standard stipulates that Peruvian Pisco must be produced using methods that follow the traditional principles of high quality production. Very illustrative are the sketches of the permitted Distillation arrangements for Peruvian pisco at the end of the standard (page 16)<\/a>.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
