While filming the movie Che, Oscar-winning Director Steven Soderbergh fell in love with Bolivia’s 500-year-old National Spirit made from the Muscat of Alexandria grape grown at high altitude in the Bolivian Andes. Before Soderbergh decided to import it to the US, it had never been out of the land-locked Bolivia.
Singani 63 is now in more than 25 markets across the U.S., as well as the UK, where it is loved by some of the country’s top mixologists for its versatility. In terrain so high most gringos would either pass out or feel as though they had barbed wire wrapped around their heads, the white Muscat of Alexandria grapes are grown, harvested, and distilled into Singani 63, the national drink of Bolivia.
It’s been this way since 1530 when Spanish missionaries brought grapevines to the Bolivian Andes so they could party on the road. Nearly half a millennium later Singani 63 would be given Domain of Origin and Geographical Indication status.
