This is domestic production where I live and they offer it in 1.75L bottles here, so it's very cheap for me (although there is cheaper, I honestly have no desire to touch it). I paid 57.90 soles for the big bottle, which today would compare with paying $6.70 for the typical 750ml.

Nose on first pour was rather foul; super sweet with an overtone of what I can only describe as rotting fruit. After taking a sip without letting it breathe, I quickly relegated it to mixer status. No idea if it opens up well, but I have experience with their 8, 12, 15, and XO, and the emphasis on sweetness was equally apparent with those, plus my experience with 8 is that it isn't a great sipper, so I don't think I'd like this one for that purpose.

If you're going to blend, you'll need to take the sweetness into account. I usually mix with sugar free pop, so it works very well for my own applications.

If I had to pay $15 or more for a normal sized bottle of this I absolutely wouldn't go back, but at $15.64 for 1.75L, it's unreal value. Honestly if you were having a party in Perú and wanted an incredible value for blends, this would be perfect. Seriously a party at Punta Hermosa, Pucusana, or Asia with this at the center would almost certainly be a good time.
