Pisco is not only the national drink of Peru, but also one of the main references of its cuisine. Its versatility evokes tradition and modernity, characteristics that combine perfectly to give life to its new graphic identity: 'Pisco, Spirit of Peru'.
Inspired by five attributes: biodiversity, quality, history, culture and versatility, the slogan 'Spirit of Peru' will convey the emotions of Peru around its flagship drink, the "spirit" of Peru. In addition, a reference is made to the category in which pisco is included in potential markets, reinforcing its denomination of origin, identity, the use of the eight Pisco grapes and origin.
This initiative connects Pisco with Peru, its place of origin, and generates a rapid recognition of its qualities as a distillate by the target, countries such as the United States, Spain, Germany, the United Kingdom and the Netherlands.
