Grandma in La Paz always added singani when she made a birthday cake. I would imagine it takes the place of vanilla extract in traditional recipes. Turned out delicious every time!
Wow that sounds like an awesome culinary trick! Haha i bet it added a really awesome depth to any cake. I love using Alcohol when cooking/baking as well haha I'll have to give that a shot 😁
Loved this video! Chatted with you on reddit a few months ago about Pisco and Singani so I was hyped when I saw this one was premiering. I was finally able to find a bottle of Barsol and I'm loving my bottle of Singani. I was interested to hear your take/notes on Singani 63 - I get mostly floral as well as hoppy notes from it a bit. I agree with the intense floral perfumey-ness you mention it has, and that although it sounds bad, it literally might be my favorite bottle/spirit right now, and I'm a Jamaican rum person. I made a cocktail for my friend the other night with Singani and Barsol that they said was their 2nd favorite cocktail that I've made them: - 1oz Barsol Quebranta - 1oz Singani 63 - 0.75 oz lemon - 0.75 blueberry lavender syrup (or ditch the blueberries for a lighter, cleaner option) - topped with seltzer Served in a collins glass with a half lemon wheel and a few blueberries. Love that you're sharing the world of Latin American spirits with us. There's so much to explore. I'm looking forward to more interesting videos and seeing more cocktail bars use these amazing spirits.
Wow thank you so much, my friend! That makes me so happy to hear! I'm glad you enjoyed Pisco and happy you already enjoy Singani. That cocktail you made actually sounds very lovely! I bet lavender and the Singani and pisco go really well together!! The floral nature sounds like a lovely match. Thank you for your thoughtful comment and it really means a lot that you looked forward to this video! I really appreciate that
AHHH so happy seing someone appreciate my culture :DD!! My family used to produce Singani a few years back and I always love to find someone who is so enthusiastic over this pretty unkown Liquor. All the best Lui and thank you!!
@@Lui_Fern idk if u might be interested but this is a video of my great-aunt and my family's vineyard, it's in Spanish tho th-cam.com/video/nV3Nvf7-DSU/w-d-xo.html
Thank you my friend!! I'm glad you enjoyed it! Haha and yeah I am! I'm pretty excited about it. Hopefully that means I can start doing even more fun and exciting things with the channel! I wanna grow it quite a bit but I'm limited in my time. Hopefully hitting 1k and continuing to grow will allow me to do some more cool stuff haha
Chile: Pisco is made here Peru: No, Pisco is made here Bolivia: Whatever dudes, keep fighting, I'm just going to do my own thing here. That sounds like us alright, pitting Peru and Chile against each other since 1836
Ok, I got my hands on a bottle of Singani. In fact, I got the same product you discussed in this video. Based on all of my wine tasting experience, I would call this a “white flower” aroma and taste. It is fairly delicate. I think the spirit could be easily overpowered in a cocktail if the other ingredients are not chosen carefully.
Hi Lui, In England I have bought a Pisco, though working away I can't remember if Peruvian or Chilean. I also have a Cachaca (?). I don't know if I can buy a Singani here. Mezcal is available but very expensive. Nick from York.
It's tough! A lot of South American spirits are hard to find abroad, even here in the U.S. Singani JUST became available a few years ago as before then it was very difficult to find. I know of a few Cachaça brands that are available in the U.K and Europe. Abelha cachaça is one that has caught my eye
So I'm from Bolivia and I've actually drink to singani that you are drinking on this video and I have to say it's okay in Bolivia does a mid-level singani you need to get ahold of some Don Lucho collection De Oro Casa Real it's unreal
5:20 if people drink Voda/Bodka/Vodka as their number one spirit, it’s not for enjoyment. Jose Cuervo and Suava are our passport to ‘South America’ . In north Canada thankfully I have a constant supplier who gives me beautiful Latino/a American spirits.
Wow yeah i guess I hadn't considered how difficult it may be to find certain spirits depending on where you are. I do wish you had more options than Sauza and Cuervo for tequila. But glad you have a connection for great south/Latin American spirits! 😁
1. There was no Bolivia. It was a part of Peru. The name Bolivia comes from Simon Bolivar, one of the guys who lead the liberation movement against Spain. Even large parts of Chile were part of Peru. This is especially true of Chile's modern grape producing regions. This is actually the nut of the situation. It all came from what was Peru or the Vice Royalty of Peru (under the Spaniards). The difference is that Bolivians had the decency to name their spirit something other than Pisco. The irony is that Bolivia has more of a right to claim Pisco then chile does given the role Pisco played early on. 2. As far as Piscos good for sipping, you should know that four of the eight Peruvian grape varietals are aromatic, meaning they are made for sipping. The most popular non-aromatic Quebranta can be sipped but tends to be mostly usef for cocktails. If you are going to compare Peruvian pisco in a sipping contest against a moscatel singani, you should use an italia or moscatel peruvian pisco. This is not an accurate comparison.

I've tried that singani and the other ones but that Singani is delicious!
AHHH so happy seing someone appreciate my culture :DD!! My family used to produce Singani a few years back and I always love to find someone who is so enthusiastic over this pretty unkown Liquor.
All the best Lui and thank you!!
Oh that's awesome! So great to hear that and of course! I love the history and craftsmanship behind singani! Cheers!

where can you buy singani in the US
This is great information I was on Bolivia Tarija a couple months ago
Thank you! Happy you enjoyed the video
Saludos desde Bolivia 🇧🇴
Saludos!!
Viva Bolivia 🇧🇴 ♥️ ❤️
Alto video
GRACIAS!! 😁😁🙏
I keep saying it, but love your niche. Never heard of Singani!!
I have learned so much.
Thank you Steve! 😁🙏 I'm happy you enjoy it! I love showing off these lesser known spirits. They hold so much cultural value and are quite unique!
Super video, 3 more spirits to explore thanks
Thank you! Happy you enjoyed it haha and yes! Definitely do explore them. They are unlike anything I've ever seen commonly here in the states
if you are going to sip Peruvian Pisco make sure it is an "Italia" varietal. It spends less time fermenting to avoid harsh flavors before distilling.
Great info as usually Lui.
Thank you my friend! I appreciate that 😁🙌
Thank you for the info.
Thank you for watching! 😁🙌
Why can't I stop watching these videos??
Hahahaha I'm just glad you're enjoying them and that you keep watching them! 😁🙏🙌
Another great video, Lui! Btw you’re getting close to 1K subs... 👀
Thank you my friend!! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Haha and yeah I am! I'm pretty excited about it. Hopefully that means I can start doing even more fun and exciting things with the channel! I wanna grow it quite a bit but I'm limited in my time. Hopefully hitting 1k and continuing to grow will allow me to do some more cool stuff haha
Thanks for the explanation😄.
Absolutely! Your so welcome
Chile: Pisco is made here
Peru: No, Pisco is made here
Bolivia: Whatever dudes, keep fighting, I'm just going to do my own thing here.
That sounds like us alright, pitting Peru and Chile against each other since 1836
Hahahahaha it's a much better strategy in my opinion 😁😁🙏

Thanks for sharing! I love the way you described it. And i think you're right about it easily being overpowered. It defintiely is delicate
I just made a Soul.Clench using Singani instead of Pisco. I thought it was delicious.
Love this!!! 🥰🥰👏👏
Thank you Lindsay!! I'm glad you enjoyed it haha i have a few cocktail videos coming up using Singani as the main spirit!! 😁
Can't wait! :)
@@Lraye3213 😁 always exploring South American spirits and cocktails.
I love singani I like to use it the place of gin in gin cocktails You get a completely new drink and it works most of the time
Wow that's a great suggestion! I'll have to try singani in place of gin! I can see how that would work! 😁😁
Donde puedo encuentra aquí en los Angeles a Singani quero comprar?
BRAVO 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

In general, I prefer shooters distilled from fruit than from grain. Rakija is also really nice and floral/fruity.
Ahhh I've never had any myself. That sounds amazing!
So I'm from Bolivia and I've actually drink to singani that you are drinking on this video and I have to say it's okay in Bolivia does a mid-level singani you need to get ahold of some Don Lucho collection De Oro Casa Real it's unreal
Chuflay alert!!!! If you can get your hands on a bottle of Don Lucho you’ll love it!
Thank you for the tip! I'll keep an eye out for Don Lucho! Also my next video is on a Chuflay! 😁🙌

I would never consider drinking Singani straight. Mix it with either Seven Up or Canada Dry ginger ale to make a Chufly.
Smells to grape

Hi there Mario, thank you so much for such a compelling and thorough comment. It was very insightful and it was a pleasure to read.
Happy you imparted your knowledge with us.
Sucre is the capital of Bolivia, no La Paz
