I tried Grappa in Italy and really liked it, but I'm clueless on what is good and bad. Anyone else have any experience with it?

It tasted like a wine whisky to me.

It's not made from grapes, it's made from grape pomace you clueless fucks. OP, just buy and grappa that also names the wine, ie "chardonnay grappa"

>>9401252
What about "chianti grappa"?

>> No.9401371

Sure.

Also, look for grappa from northern italy, that's where it is originally from.

When I was in Italy I just went into a wine shop and asked for advice on it. I said I wanted one that's local and I like a whisky flavour. He offered me a few and I picked one.

what is the difference between grappa, singali and pisco?

No, its actually grapes fermented to a standard liquor abv.

No, that's brandy. Grappa uses the leftovers from the wine making process.

Its tasty as fuck though. It uses the pomace which is the skin, pulp and seeds so its no different then making a spirit from dried out barely or corn

Grappa can be alright, but it can also taste like complete garbage. I bought a cheap bottle at the local supermarket to try out and it smelled and tasted like burnt rubber. The better kinds are alright, though, and the flavored kinds can be really good.

Is it like vodka in flavour?

I had grappa at the liver pool house in montreal, it was great.
Can't find it locally in merica

>> No.9403970

>>9403872
No.

It has its own unique flavor, and really is an acquired taste. Some of the cheaper shit can smell and taste like burnt rubber, while some of the better stuff is actually kind of smooth.

>> No.9403979

>>9403970
Interesting. So it tastes like brandy and cognac?
