By Chilled Magazine
La Caravedo Pisco Puro Torontel Wins 2017 Double Gold and Best in Show Unaged White Spirit at The San Francisco World Spirits Competition, Two Years in a Row.
This award makes it the #1 unaged white spirit of the year, consistently surpassing all other vodka, rum, gin, and tequila entries.
2017 was the second year in a row that Pisco La Caravedo’s Puro Torontel Pisco won Best Pisco and Best in Show Unaged White Spirit. This is the fourth year in a row that the Best in Show Unaged White Spirits honor was awarded to a Pisco. The SFWSC re-classified Piscos in 2017 to better reflect the diversity and differences between Chilean and Peruvian brands, resulting in a 50% increase in Pisco entries over 2016.
“We are honored to be recognized by the 2017 SF World Spirits Competition and to share the heritage of our native spirit and the tradition of Hacienda La Caravedo. La CaravedoTorontel’s versatility and notes of rose, gardenia, and violet bring a unique and exciting flavor to any cocktail.”

La Caravedo Pisco Puro Torontel
La Caravedo Torontel is a pisco puro, which means it is made from a single varietal of the eight grape varietals allowed by Peruvian law to make pisco. La Caravedo Torontel is made from the torontel grape, which is an aromatic varietal that evolved on the Peruvian coast and provides a strong floral bouquet and velvety texture. La Caravedo Torontel brings bright, delicate flavors, rich texture, and a heady aromatic experience to a cocktail. It is distilled in Hacienda La Caravedo’s original falca stills, and there are 8 pounds of grapes in every bottle.
