Boy, that stuff is potent! My daughter-in-law routinely brings a bottle back from her frequent trips to Peru. This past Thanksgiving at my son's house, her father decided we all needed to taste a shot of Pisco from the bottle currently resident upon my son's kitchen shelf. And so the shot glass was duly passed around. When it came around to me, there was nothing for it but to belt it down best I could. So I did. Whew. It was definitely a memorable experience, that shot of Pisco. I think I can still feel it .... and I can definitely understand the swinging from the trees like a monkey! I'd make monkey sounds but I don't know how to spell them. My daughter-in-law and her family are from Peru and Pisco is, as I understand it, a Peruvian or at least a South American liqueur.
