Peruvian Pisco Takes Gold In San Francisco


Thanks to Chef Claudia at Mikuisine, I learned that three Peruvian piscos received gold medals at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition. This competition is the "first comprehensive, international spirits judging held annually in the United States" and was founded by Anthony Dias Blue, Wine and Spirits Editor at Bon Apetit Magazine, and Carol Seibert, Managing Director of the San Francisco International Wine Competition. The competition was held in March at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in San Francisco.

And the winners were...

Top Pisco, Double Gold Medal: Barsol Pisco Quebranta, Ica, Peru, imported by Shaw Ross.

Gold Medal: Barsol Pisco Acholado, Peru, imported by Shaw Ross.

Gold Medal: Conqueror Pisco Quebranta, Ica, Peru, imported by Angelo Gabriel Traders.
