We may not consciously think about it all the time, but flavor is an incredibly powerful way of registering memories. The stories of our lives can be captured through flavors. Do you recall the scent of smoked fish that your grandfather served you? What about those birthday cakes your mother made, and how they somehow got denser and more luscious after a night in the fridge? Or your first bite of a citrus-like ant? These sense memories moved us just as much in the past as they do now. Empirical Spirits is forever inspired by the role flavor plays in our ability to create and transport experiences.

Enjoy the unique flavors of Empirical Spirits with a package of their most popular items.

This package includes:

• 1x bottle of 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.

32% ABV.
Flavor: Sweet, marzipan, floral, bright.
Recommended Serve: Neat or over ice with Citrus soda.

• 1x bottle of 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 savory finish.

43% ABV.
Flavor: Earthy, dark red fruit, smoky.
Recommended serve: Over ice, with Cherry soda.
