Production:
Capel Pisco Double Destilado Especial is a premium Chilean spirit made from a blend of Muscat grapes, specifically sourced from the fertile vineyards of the Elqui Valley, one of the top regions for pisco production. This pisco undergoes a double distillation process, which ensures a higher purity and concentration of flavors. The distillation process is carried out in copper stills, and the spirit is left to rest for a period to develop its smooth and complex character. Capel is known for its dedication to traditional methods while employing modern techniques to ensure the highest quality.
ABV: 35%
Tasting Notes:
Capel Pisco Double Destilado Especial has a clear, crystalline appearance and offers a fragrant bouquet of floral and fruity aromas, with dominant notes of ripe grapes and hints of citrus. On the palate, it is smooth and velvety, with rich flavors of tropical fruit, fresh herbs, and a touch of spice. The finish is elegant and lingering, with a subtle sweetness that highlights its refined character.
Pairing:
This versatile spirit can be enjoyed neat or used as the base for a variety of cocktails. It pairs exceptionally well with seafood dishes, such as ceviche, grilled fish, or shrimp. For a traditional Chilean experience, try it in a Pisco Sour, where the spirit’s fruity and floral notes blend harmoniously with citrus and sweetness. It also works well in more modern cocktails like a Pisco Punch or a Pisco Tonic.
Serving Tips:
Serve Capel Pisco Double Destilado Especial slightly chilled or at room temperature to appreciate its delicate flavors. For cocktails, use fresh lime juice and simple syrup to craft a classic Pisco Sour, shaking the ingredients vigorously for a frothy finish. This spirit’s versatility allows it to shine in both refreshing, summery drinks and more robust, spirit-forward concoctions.
