Empirical - Stonefruit 750ml

Empirical Stonefruit redefines the botanical spirit category by capturing the pure essence of the autumn harvest. Expanding on the success of their highly acclaimed previous releases, the distillers have refined this spirit to offer incredible flavor clarity and a highly accessible price point. Instead of relying on artificial additives, the production team uses every part of the fruit. They extract deep flavors from the bitter kernel all the way to the tannic skin, seamlessly layering these rich elements with delicate marigold petals.

In the glass, this dry and fruit forward spirit opens with high notes of bitter almond and warm marzipan. A fragrant, tea like aroma of marigold quickly follows. The mid palate reveals a gently juicy texture with a refined tannic grip. Finally, the finish settles into a soft, warming embrace filled with subtle hints of vanilla and fresh dough.

Bottled at thirty two percent alcohol, this unique botanical modifier behaves like a dynamic cocktail ingredient. It brings exceptional balance and quiet floral notes to the glass. The natural cherry and peach tones pair perfectly with roasted coffee flavors, making it an incredible addition to an Espresso Martini or a classic Mind Eraser. For a brighter option, mix it into a refreshing Sour or a crisp Tom Collins.
