In this proposed rule, TTB proposes to amend the standards of identity regulations for distilled spirits to include "Pisco" as a type of brandy that must be manufactured in accordance with the laws and regulations of either Peru or Chile. This proposed rule also includes a technical correction which removes "Cognac" from the examples of geographical designations listed in the standards of identity since Cognac is listed separately as a type of brandy.
