ABOUT VACUUM DISTILLATION
Why does the collab spirit brim with unmatched flavor of Doritos?
It's all about our vacuum distillation process.
Unlike traditional high-temperature distillation that diminish the essence of the ingredients, we distill at lower temperatures under vacuum. This cutting-edge technique ensures that every nuanced flavor is gently captured and preserved. The result is a bold, full-bodied spirit that delivers an explosion of flavor in every sip. It's not just distillation; it's the art of flavor preservation.
We break away from conventional spirit categories. We are driven by curiosity and the pursuit of new flavor experiences.
We do everything from scratch, build our own machinery and bring together new and forgotten ingredients across cultures and communities.
Empirical stands apart - unbound by convention, undefined by categories.
