Origin Story:
The genesis of the Doritos spirit is a delightful tale of serendipity. In the early days of Empirical, amidst countless trials refining still designs and experimenting with various botanicals, a spontaneous moment occurred. A team member returned from lunch with a sandwich and a bag of Doritos, which found its way into the still. What ensued was unexpected: the birth of a Doritos-infused spirit.
Initial expectations were modest, anticipating perhaps fleeting top notes or a mere essence of the tortilla flavor. However, the result defied expectations, evoking laughter and astonishment among the R&D team as they discovered they were drinking Doritos.
Doritos possess a unique ability to satisfy multiple flavor cravings simultaneously—umami richness, saltiness, a delicate balance of sweetness and sourness, and a hint of bitterness—all encapsulated in a single bite. This universal appeal was confirmed as the spirit was shared with restaurant colleagues, evoking the same joy and laughter experienced during its inception.
