Can anybody explain to me the difference in terms of flavour between Tsipouro and Grappa? Because I used Grappa and whilst it was certainly interesting and balanced I also felt that the grape spirit was taking over. It was good, don't get me wrong, but it wasn't great. Is Tsipouro more like Peruvian pisco in that it has a lighter, more floral and delicate notes? Because I can certainly tell the difference between Grappa and Peruvian Pisco in that respect.

With Italian Grappa I can say that the drink was good but not great. The destillate took over a bit too much whereas the other ingredients stayed in the background. It was still a good, long way of drinking Grappa. It felt like a tropical drink with the juices and Ango spice. 4/5.

Tsipouro is much closer to grappa than pisco.
