Empirical The Plum, I Suppose 500ml

Empirical The Plum, I Suppose is an experimental spirit from Empirical in Copenhagen, Denmark, vacuum distilled from a base of pearled barley and pilsner malt fermented with koji (Aspergillus oryzae) and a Belgian saison yeast. Its heart is the kernel found inside plum stones, which gives marzipan and bitter almond rather than stone-fruit flavour, while distilled marigold kombucha adds floral, tannic notes that recall plum skins. Together they only suggest plum, hence the nod to a Robert Frost poem in the name. Bottled at 32% ABV in a 500ml bottle, it gives an impression of sweetness with a refreshing finish. Store it refrigerated.

Tasting Notes: Marzipan, bitter almond, floral and tannic plum-skin notes, refreshing finish.

Serve: Chilled, neat or with tonic.
