Abstract
The predominantly muscat aroma of pisco, a young distillate produced in northern Chile and Peru, distinguishes it from other young spirits. Standardized terminology is necessary, however, to describe differences among the wide range of piscos. This is the first proposal for a standardized set of descriptive terminology for this type of product. A panel of trained specialists established the proposed terminology, which is displayed in a wheel format and in a list of corresponding standards.
