Our favorite spirit lately? Pisco! With the recent opening of Raymi in the Flatiron District, all things South American are hot, and after a visit we were inspired to pick up a bottle for our home bar. Call it perfect timing, because Kappa Pisco is launching this month in the Big Apple – it’s a Chilean label from the folks behind Grand Marnier. The fresh and light spirit is produced in Chile’s Elqui Valley, an area known for its pristine weather and the water from the Andes Mountains. The blue-hued bottle takes its name from the the Kappa Crucis star cluster, which is visible from the valley (star geeks will note that cluster is part of the Southern Cross constellation). Look for the bottle to show up on shelves over the next few weeks at a suggested retail of $34 a pop.
