INCA-002 Inca Pisco

1. Origin & Producer

Inca Pisco is a well-known Peruvian pisco brand, founded in 1990 by Inca Pisco S.A.C. (Ipisac) based in Lima, Peru.

2. Type & Production Process

Inca Pisco is a Pisco Puro (single grape pisco), distilled from Muscat (Moscatel), Quebranta, or Italia grapes grown in the Ica and Lima regions — both protected by the Denomination of Origin status in Peru.
The pisco is distilled once in copper stills, with no added water after distillation, and is not aged in wood barrels, preserving the pure, natural flavor of the grapes.

3. Flavor Profile & Serving Style

The dominant aromas are fruity and natural grape notes, combined with the soft sweetness characteristic of Muscat without being overly sweet. The spirit has no heavy alcohol burn or smokiness, making it ideal to enjoy neat or as a base for traditional South American cocktails such as Pisco Sour and Chilcano.
Alcohol content ranges from 38% to 48% ABV according to Peruvian Pisco standards.

4. Bottle Style & Collectibility

Inca Pisco is available in traditional bottles as well as collectible editions featuring unique designs like Tiki faces or Inca faces made from black glass or ceramic, sought after internationally.
Vintage bottles from the 1970s to 1990s are particularly valued by collectors, especially if unopened and well preserved. Current prices for vintage bottles range from around $35 to $50, with greater value often placed on empty collectible bottles or rare contents.

5. Reviews & Popularity

While some criticisms exist regarding the quality of certain batches (e.g., some personal reviews calling it “possibly the worst booze I’ve ever had”), many users find Inca Pisco interesting and enjoyable, especially for those who appreciate traditional South American cocktails.
