Las Ñustas de Macchu Pisco

Melanie Master distiller and Lizzie Master blender

Named Pioneer of the Year at Tales of the Cocktail in 2015, Melanie de Trindade-Asher is CEO, founder, master distiller and master blender at
Macchu Pisco. Born in Peru, Asher had her first taste of her homeland’s spirit when she was 12. Armed with an M.B.A. from Harvard Business
School and experience working with large spirits firms, Asher recognized America’s rapidly growing interest in cocktails and artisanal products,
prompting her to launch Macchu Pisco in the US market in 2008. With control over taste and quality at each stage of the brand’s production, Asher
runs Macchu Pisco with her sister, Lizzie, the firm’s president. The sisters actively promote fair trade practice for women in Latin America and set an
admirable example by paying fair wages to their female co-op of grape harvesters.
