Ayuuk is named for and built around the Pasilla Mixe chili, a smoky dried chili preserved by the Mixe people of Oaxaca's Sierra Norte mountains. The chili is the sole botanical and the source of all the spirit's complexity, macerated in a base spirit made from Danish heritage purple wheat and pilsner malt. After distillation, the best fractions rest in an Oloroso sherry cask, where the flavors mature into a smooth, distinct, savory finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFlavor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Earthy, dark red fruit, smoky\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Smooth, savory, sherry-cask depth\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Empirical, Copenhagen\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Flavored Spirit — Pasilla Mixe chili\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eBase:\u003c\/strong\u003e Danish purple wheat \u0026amp; pilsner malt\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eBotanical:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pasilla Mixe chili (Oaxaca, Mexico)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eCask:\u003c\/strong\u003e Oloroso sherry\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 43%\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 500ml\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrowse all \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/gin\"\u003espirits at Wooden Cork\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWhat is Ayuuk made from?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eA single botanical — the smoky Pasilla Mixe chili from Oaxaca, Mexico — macerated in a Danish purple-wheat and pilsner-malt spirit and rested in an Oloroso sherry cask.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWhat does it taste like?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eEarthy, smoky, with dark red fruit and a smooth, savory finish from the sherry-cask resting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eHow should I serve it?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eOver ice with ginger beer is the producer's recommended serve.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cscript type=\"application\/ld+json\"\u003e{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@type\":\"FAQPage\",\"mainEntity\":[{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What is Ayuuk made from?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"A single botanical — the smoky Pasilla Mixe chili from Oaxaca, Mexico — macerated in a Danish purple-wheat and pilsner-malt spirit and rested in an Oloroso sherry cask.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What does it taste like?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Earthy, smoky, with dark red fruit and a smooth, savory finish from the sherry-cask resting.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"How should I serve it?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Over ice with ginger beer is the producer's recommended serve.\"}}]}\u003c\/script\u003e","brand":"Empirical","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42903901470791,"sku":"ayuuk","price":69.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0687\/0640\/2375\/files\/EMPIRICAL-AYUUK-500ml-FRONT.jpg?v=1782412782","url":"https:\/\/bourbonnest.com\/products\/ayuuk","provider":"Bourbon Nest","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
