All the Peruvian bartenders I've met prefer their Pisco Sours blended rather than shaken. Indeed, it is a brilliant cocktail when blended, but I prefer...
Made with Capel pisco and included the Orange Blossom water and 3 drops of Angostura. Drink tasted like white grape and sweet tarts. Blech! Wrong pisco or skip the Orange Blossom water?
I had a bottle of Capel Pisco for a long while and always found it incredibly unexciting (thus why it took so long to get through it). Someone mentioned that the difference between Chilean and Peruvian pisco is stark, so I got a bottle of Demonio de Los Andes Acholado pisco this time around. It's absolutely delicious, and I'm VERY glad I didn't write off pisco from the Capel!
