Pisco is a type of brandy that is popular in South America, particularly in Peru and Chile. This spirit is made from grapes that are fermented and distilled, resulting in a clear, colorless liquid with a high alcohol content. While the word "pisco" is the most commonly used term, there are also several synonyms that are used to refer to this beverage. In Peru, pisco is also known as aguardiente de uva or simply aguardiente, while in Chile it is sometimes called chicha or ajenjo. Other common synonyms for pisco include grape brandy, pomace brandy, and eau-de-vie de raisin.
