What are the differences between Singani and Pisco?

The biggest difference right away: while Pisco is produced in Peru or Chile, Singani is native to Bolivia.
Furthermore, the Pisco is made from a blend of Muscat grapes and other wine varieties, while the Bolivian Singani is made 100% from Muscat grapes.

There are also many similarities between the two spirits.
Both spirits are very similar in taste, as they are made from both aromatic and non-aromatic grapes. Pisco and Singani are also produced in a similar way and could thus be referred to as "related."
Both liqueurs use the Muscat d'Alexandrie grape, ferment for up to 21 days in steel tanks, and are distilled in an alambic, a special distillation vessel. Singani is distilled once or twice and then brought to drinking strength of about 40% alcohol content.

In cocktail culture, Singani has not gained the same recognition as Pisco, but it can easily be used as a substitute in all Pisco cocktails. In Bolivia, Singani is mainly enjoyed in long drinks. Mixed with ginger ale, the drink is called “Chuflay.” Together with orange juice and sugar, it is served as “Yungueñito,” a popular aperitif in Bolivia.
There is also a Singani flavored with coffee aromas (Cascara), the so-called "Singani Sultana".
