About this bottle
This spirit from Empirical, officially named after a political statement about U.S. border policy, blends the distillery's koji-fermented naked and pearled barley base with a full kilo of habaneros redistilled per bottle, rounded out with distilled habanero vinegar. Because the chili's heat compounds don't carry over in distillation, what comes through is habanero's vegetal, fruity character rather than spice. Expect a smooth, warm profile with mineral earthiness, herbaceous and lightly sour notes, and a savory complexity closer to a chili-inflected vinegar than a hot sauce. Bottled at 27% ABV, a portion of proceeds from this release supported RAICES, an immigrant legal aid organization.
How to drink Empirical's Habanero Blend
Use it as a savory, chili-forward modifier in a Bloody Mary or a spicy margarita riff rather than sipping it solo — the habanero character adds depth without the burn, so a little goes a long way.

Questions about this bottle
Is this spirit spicy?
Not in the way a hot sauce is — the capsicum that carries heat doesn't survive distillation, so you get habanero's vegetal, fruity character without much burn.
What cocktails work well with it?
It works best as a savory modifier in a Bloody Mary or a chili-forward margarita, where its vegetal, slightly sour character adds complexity.
Does this bottle support a cause?
Yes — the release was tied to a fundraising effort for RAICES, an organization providing free and low-cost legal services to immigrants.
