The strict regulations on Pisco production in Peru make for a uniquely flavored end product: the juice of eight different grapes must be distilled in an old-fashioned, gourd-shaped copper alembic or potlike falca, which conserves many interesting flavors that a tall, modern column still would remove. The results are exuberant in any style: single-varietal puro; acholado, a blend; or mosto verde, a sweet pisco. Here are 7 of our favorite bottles.
