What does PISCO mean in Scrabble?
noun
A strong, clear brandy distilled from grapes, produced chiefly in Peru and Chile and named after the Peruvian port of the same name.
Pisco is distilled from fermented grape juice and, unlike many brandies, is typically bottled without further aging in wood, which keeps its flavor bright and its color clear. Both Peru and Chile claim pisco as a national spirit and dispute the right to the name, though production methods and styles differ somewhat between the two countries. The spirit is best known internationally as the base of the pisco sour, a cocktail mixed with lime juice, sugar, and egg white.
