EMPIRICAL - The Plum, I Suppose; An Exploration, Plum Kernels Bring Marzipan Flavours, Combined With Marigold Kumbuca Resembling Plum Skins; 32% ABV. 50cl

50cl / 32.00% - Empirical Spirits is back at it, making marvellous tipples with its own in-house koji spirit. The Plum, I Suppose features plum kernel and marigold as its botanicals - it's a lot more nutty than you might expect, with the kernels imparting fragrant sweet almond notes alongside hints of fresh plum fruitiness. The name comes from a Robert Frost poem 'The Rose Family', which brings to mind ideas of beauty, and also makes us think that more drinks need commas in their names. In fact, just more punctuation overall, really.
