Empirical Ayuuk 500ml

Empirical Ayuuk is an experimental Danish botanical spirit from Empirical. Although some retailers categorize it with whisky, Empirical itself does not classify Ayuuk as whisky. It is made from Danish heritage purple wheat and pilsner malt, infused with smoke-dried Pasilla Mixe chili from Oaxaca, Mexico, then distilled and rested briefly in Oloroso Sherry casks.

Food Pairing: Pairs well with grilled meats, smoked barbecue, tacos, roasted vegetables, dark chocolate and dishes with earthy or smoky flavors.

Tasting Notes: Earthy, smoky and savory with dark red fruit and the distinctive character of Pasilla Mixe chili.

Nose: Smoke, dried chili, dark red fruit and earthy notes.

Palate: Dark berries and plum with vegetal notes, gentle chili spice, subtle sweetness and smoke.

Finish: Smooth and savory with lingering smoke, earthy spice and subtle Oloroso influence.

Serve: Enjoy over ice, or with grapefruit soda and fresh lime. It also pairs well with ginger beer.
