Doritos® x Empirical isfrom the Empirical Spirits Collection brand crafted in Denmark.

Doritos® x Empirical is a quirky collaboration between the iconic snack brand and the innovative spirits company, resulting in a one-of-a-kind flavor-packed spirit. This unusual spirit is distilled from actual Doritos chips, capturing the essence of the beloved nacho cheese flavor in a smooth, sippable form that's perfect for creative cocktails or adventurous neat pours. Did you know? The creation of Doritos® x Empirical required over 10,000 pounds of Doritos chips to be fermented and distilled, making it possibly the world's largest batch of "nachospiritized" alcohol ever produced.

Why We Love It

Doritos® x Empirical is a groundbreaking collaboration that defies traditional spirit categories, blending the iconic nacho cheese flavor of Doritos® with Empirical's innovative distillation techniques. This one-of-a-kind spirit captures the essence of Doritos® using real chips in the distillation process, resulting in a savory, umami-rich flavor profile that's perfect for creating bold, unexpected cocktails or sipping neat for a truly unique tasting experience.

How to Drink It

This unique spirit is best savored neat or on the rocks to fully appreciate its complex flavor profile, though it also shines in spicy or citrus-forward cocktails. Doritos® x Empirical pairs wonderfully with bold, savory snacks and grilled meats, making it an ideal choice for summer barbecues or cozy autumn evenings by the fire.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Bright citrus and herbal notes dominate, with lemon peel and fresh cilantro at the forefront. Subtle hints of corn tortilla and a touch of jalapeño spice add complexity. A faint sweetness reminiscent of agave nectar lingers in the background.

Palate: Smooth and surprisingly light-bodied. Initial flavors of lime zest and green pepper give way to a savory umami character, evoking memories of nacho cheese. A mild heat builds, balanced by a slight sweetness. Herbal notes of coriander and oregano add depth and intrigue.

Finish: Medium-length with a pleasant warmth. The spice intensifies briefly before fading, leaving behind a satisfying corn chip essence. Citrus and herb notes linger, creating a clean, refreshing aftertaste that invites another sip.

How It's Made

The production process involves vacuum distillation at low temperatures, preserving the delicate flavors and aromas of the chips while creating a smooth, sippable 42% ABV spirit that's surprisingly versatile in cocktails.

    Why?

    This combination sounded theoretically like it might be good or at least interesting. It was neither. Tried making a few diff cocktails using this as the base and can't any of them were enjoyable. Quite the opposite really. Really can't recommend this to anyone.
