There’s a new liquor in town. If it were to come to life, he would be tall, dark, handsome; extremely sexy, exotic, and always willing to have a good time, especially if it means getting into a bit of trouble.

Introducing: KAPPA Pisco from Chile.

Hailing from the Elqui Valley in Chile, KAPPA is brought to us by the Marnier Lapostolle family of the iconic global brand, Grand Marnier, and the award-winning Lapostolle Wines from Chile.

“Like in Cognac, where Marnier Lapostolle’s roots began centuries ago with Grand Marnier, Chilean Pisco is a spirit made from the double distillation of wine. However, unlike Cognac which must be aged in oak, Chilean Pisco can be either aged or unaged in oak. KAPPA is the unaged variety that results in a delicious white spirit with excellent mixability.

The grapes for KAPPA Pisco are sourced from the Elqui Valley, which boasts 300 days of sunshine a year, fresh water from the Andes Mountains and clear, pristine skies free of pollution.”

Sounds a bit high-maintenance. But hey, we like it when a man knows what he wants, even if it comes off slightly arrogant.

Smooth on his own, he still plays nicely with others, as proof from the delicious cocktail recipes below. Try your hand a few, or all!

Yours,
