Empirical Ayuuk
The smoky Pasilla Mixe chilli is the hero here. We source it directly from Mixe farmers in the mountains of Oaxaca, Mexico, and macerate it in a spirit made from Danish heritage purple wheat and Pilsner malt. After distillation, we blend the most desirable cuts. This blend is then rested in a sherry cask, allowing the flavors to infuse and mature with each other, giving a smooth, distinct and savoury finish.
Flavor: Earthy, dark red fruit, smokey.
ABV: 43%

Empirical The Plum, I Suppose
The kernel inside plum stones is the foundation of this spirit. Rather than tasting of stone fruit, the kernel lends a marzipan, bitter almond flavor. Distilled marigold kombucha brings another side of floral and tannic notes reminiscent of plum skins; the combination is sort of the suggestion of plum, hence the reference to the Robert Frost poem. A perception of sweetness with a refreshing finish. Keep refrigerated.
Flavor: Sweet, marzipan, floral, bright.
