Empirical Ayuuk (43%)

Empirical Ayuuk is a 43% abv spirit led by smoky Pasilla Mixe chilli, bought directly from Mixe farmers in the mountains of Oaxaca, Mexico. The chilli is macerated in a spirit made from Danish heritage purple wheat and Pilsner malt. After distillation the most desirable cuts are blended, then rested in a sherry cask so the flavours can mingle and mature. It is earthy and smoky, with dark red fruit, and finishes smooth and savoury.
