Read in the magazine (rotate your device for a better reading experience):
For this pisco, the grapes are vinified in white and macerated at low temperatures, before being distilled twice in copper pot stills. This process aims to preserve the aromas and flavors of the Moscatel grape varieties. After distillation, the product is aged in new French oak barrels for a minimum of 18 months. Before bottling, it undergoes a cold filtration process through cellulose plates.
NOSE: On the nose, Pisco Bou Legado 40 ABV is characterized by fruity and floral notes, particularly the profile of jasmine in spring, along with a soft touch of fresh herbs, chamomile, lavender, and rosemary.
PALATE: Smooth and balanced, with a distinctive mark of natural sweetness. Its versatility is appreciated, whether consumed neat (with or without ice) or in cocktails. A personal recommendation would be a Negroni, where we swap out the Gin for Bou Legado 40 ABV.
FINISH: The 18 months of aging in new French oak barrels give it a long, delicate, and complex finish, with a slight smoky caramel touch that lingers on the palate for an extended period.
COMMENTS: Pisco Bou Legado 40 ABV is part of a century-old tradition passed down through three generations of viticulturists and distillers based in pisco-producing valleys such as Limarí, Huasco, and Choapa. Today, the Bou family tradition continues in Salamanca, in the Choapa Valley, with the label we present here.
