Distillery Information

Considering that Empirical Spirits was founded by two former employees of noma, a two-Michelin-star restaurant named best in the world multiple times, it should come as no surprise that a focus on flavour is intrinsic to everything created by the Danish distillers. Lars Williams and Mark Emil Hermansen started the company in 2017, and it has since become one of the most exciting names in the drinks world. Using low-temperature distilling, long fermentation times, a unique base spirit made from koji and a seemingly never-ending selection of ingredients that many distillers would not have thought about utilising, Empirical Spirits has created a host of fascinating drinks that could seem imposing if they werent so bloomin easy to enjoy. Flavour is funny like that.
