The Empirical Ayuuk Flavor
Earthy, dark red fruit, smoky.
Ingredients
The smoky Pasilla Mixe chili is the sole botanical and the source of all the complexity in Ayuuk. We source it directly from Mixe farmers in the mountains of Oaxaca, Mexico, and macerate it 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.

We Are Uncategorized
We break away from conventional categories and defy the status quo.
We find freedom in flavor; we connect people, learn from them, collaborate, and tell their stories.
We sculpt a narrative arc of taste and aroma, overlaying the novel and the familiar; becoming sense memories we can share.
We do everything from scratch, build our own machinery and bring together new or forgotten ingredients.
We leave no stone unturned. We always taste, evolve, and strive to be better.
We ask questions others don’t.
We write a playbook that does not exist—one distillation, one spirit, and one flavor at a time.
Empirical is free-form. It is limitless. It is non-conformist.
Empirical is uncategorized.
No boundaries attached.
