There are tons of old threads on these bottles (and some ideas ideas for uses).

The trick with Pisco Sours is that actually, the Peruvian Pisco is far better than the Chilean (the cool bottles, of which I happily have 2). Since it was the Peruvian consulate in my city who first told this to me, I was of course skeptical (Chileans and Peruvians hate each other like Chinese and Japanese, Brits/French, etc.).

So he set me up a taste test. Sure enough, the Chilean is metallic and bitter compared to the Peruvian. Pisco is, after all, in Peru. These guys did invent it. (And Yma Sumac is Peruvian - further proof of Peruvian grooviness.)

So what to do with the contents of the Chilean if you're sold on the Peruvian? Sounds like a nice punch is a good idea after all. :wink:
