Empirical Symphony 6 is a captivating spirit that masterfully explores the often-underutilized aromatic power of leaves, conducting a complex interplay of light and dark botanical notes. Crafted by the innovative team at Empirical, this unique expression is an olfactory ode to an "eternal summer," aiming to capture the nuanced essence of twilight through its intricate flavor narrative and distinctive hue.
The journey of Symphony 6 begins with the refreshing bright acidity and light fruity notes of mandarin and lemon leaves. This initial vibrancy is artfully contrasted by the darker, leathery tones derived from specially treated coffee leaves and the green, earthy coolness of fig leaves. Drawing inspiration from the world of perfumery, high notes from black currant buds introduce a biting, green, and subtly liqueur-like complexity, while ambrette seeds and vetiver roots ground the blend with distinct musky, warm characters that contribute to a remarkably long finish. Each botanical element is meticulously processed, often through separate macerations and distillations, then masterfully layered in several "movements" to allow its individual voice to shine before achieving a harmonious whole.
The result is a truly distinctive spirit at 40% ABV, offering a dynamic taste experience that evolves on the palate: from bright floral and citrusy beginnings, through green fruitiness, and maturing into intriguing leathery and musky depths. Made entirely from scratch with natural ingredients and no sugar added, Symphony 6 is best experienced over ice with a quality Mediterranean-style tonic, allowing its full aromatic symphony to unfold.
