Holiday special EMPIRICAL AYUUK 86

The smoky Pasilla Mixe chili is the sole botanical and the primary source of all the complexity in Ayuuk. Sourced directly from Mixe farmers in the mountains of Oaxaca, Mexico, the chilis are then macerated in a spirit made from Danish heritage purple wheat and pilsner malt. After distillation the best fractions are rested in a sherry Oloroso cask, allowing the flavors to infuse and mature with each other, giving a smooth, distinct and savory finish.
