Empirical Spirits Ayuuk Blend 500ml

Harnessing both traditional eastern and western traditional fermenting and distilling techniques, along with modern technology, Empirical Spirits represents an entirely new category in spirits. Embracing flavour as a starting point, all the unique expressions from this Copenhagen based start-up evoke a different sensory memory.

Ayuuk uses a high-altitude Mexican chilli, grown in the Sierra Mixe mountains, as a base for a completely unique spirit. The chillies (known as Ayuuk in the local language) are macerated in low wine at extremely lower temperatures, which imparts the finished spirit with a wonderful earthy, smokiness without any of the fiery chilli heat.

This is a wonderful complex drink reminiscent of a peated single malt whisky, combined with the flavour and herbal edge of an aged Mezcal.
