The Plum, I Suppose layers two contrasting components — the foundation comes from the kernel inside plum stones, giving a nutty, marzipan-like bitterness, while distilled marigold kombucha contributes a floral lift and gentle tannin that echoes the skin of the fruit. The result is a low-intervention, aromatic spirit best explored on its own terms rather than treated as a classic juniper gin.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Marzipan and bitter almond with a floral lift\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Plum-stone kernel nuttiness balanced by tannic, floral marigold kombucha\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dry, aromatic, faintly reminiscent of plum skins\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Empirical, Copenhagen, Denmark\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Experimental flavor-forward spirit\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eKey components:\u003c\/strong\u003e Plum-stone kernels, distilled marigold kombucha\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrowse all \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/gin\"\u003egin at Wooden Cork\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWhat is The Plum, I Suppose?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn experimental spirit from Empirical built on bitter plum-stone kernels (marzipan, bitter-almond character) balanced with distilled marigold kombucha for floral, tannic notes reminiscent of plum skins.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eIs it a traditional gin?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo — Empirical makes flavor-forward, low-intervention spirits rather than classic juniper-led gin.
