Empirical Doritos Nacho Cheese Spirit (75cl, 42%)

This is a flavoured spirit from Empirical, made with malted barley, Belgian Saison yeast and Doritos Nacho Cheese. It is 42% abv and comes in a 75cl bottle. It began as an experiment, growing out of trial distillations and an informal lunch snack. It can be drunk neat or over ice, or used in cocktails such as a Margarita or a Bloody Mary. It opens with umami and tangy nacho cheese, moving into deeper corn flavours reminiscent of a corn tostada, and ends on a gentle salty note.
