Empirical Symphony 6 (40%)

Symphony 6 is a 40% spirit from Empirical, built on pilsner malt and Belgian saison yeast. It looks to leaves, which are often overlooked as a flavour: lemon, mandarin, coffee, black currant and fig, deepened by ambrette seeds and vetiver roots. Black currant bud leads on the palate, followed by refreshing citrus acidity and green, fruity fig leaf. Leathery, musky coffee leaf and ambrette come next, and the finish runs long on vetiver root. It is made with all natural ingredients and no added sugar, and is served over ice with a Mediterranean-style tonic.
