Established in 2006 by Master Blender Melanie Asher and her sister, Lizzie, they strive to bring the best of Peru into each batch of Macchu Pisco using copper pot still distillation. Macchu Pisco La Diablada Pisco Acholado – Pisco Sour Centennial is part of their collector series. Bearing the mark, Cosecha 2016, this special creation was made in 2016, and is the second in their collector’s series. They created the first in the series – La Diablada Centennial Pisco "Amelia’s Centennial" as a tribute to their living grandmother Amelia’s 100th birthday. As Amelia is one year older than the creation of the Pisco Sour, she celebrates her birthday with her favorite cocktail, the Pisco Sour. Viva Amelia!
Information: "La Diablada is a super-premium custom blended Pisco made from a private reserve of Quebranta as well as award-winning Italia grapes, Moscatel, and Torontel grapes. La Diablada is named after an Andean spiritual dance re-enacting a legendary fight between angels and demons. Just as the dance strives to achieve perfect harmony, this blend achieves a sumptuous balance of bold aromas and round flavours."
Macchu Pisco – La Diablada Pisco Acholado Pisco Sour Centennial has 40% ABV, (80 proof), and is a clear spirit.
Tasting Notes: Made with a blend of grape varieties, it has luscious, sweet floral and citrus notes on the nose, which continue onto the palate for a clean and elegant finish. It is a perfect spirit to use as a base for cocktails, served neat, or incorporated into culinary recipes.

To celebrate its long history and style, we adapted the recipe for Macchu Pisco’s Pisco Sour and created Luxury Experience – Rose Pisco Sour to play up the floral elegance of Macchu Pisco La Diablada Pisco Acholado. Although we love the look of this drink served in a chilled vintage hollow-stem champagne glass, it looks equally as inviting served in a chilled Martini glass.
