'Fallen Pony' is another Empirical Spirit creation that's difficult to classify. It's an aromatic double-fermented quince tea spirit made from a base of quince, barley koji, Belgian Saison yeast, and pilsner malt wash. The spent material is fermented into a quince tea kombucha, vacuum distilled and then used to rectify the final product to preserve the sweet botanical notes, highlight hints of marzipan, and provide balanced acidity. This is a deceptively light drinking experience at 35% Alc./Vol. It's recommended with tonic water and lemon peel as a garnish. (The name is a play on ‘My Little Pony,’ after the childhood nostalgia the spirit is said to evoke).

Noma alumni Lars Williams and Mark Emil Hermans set out in 2017 to create the worlds most exciting and boundary stretching "spirits". Drawing off the experience in the "Noma Flavour Lab", they use avant garde techniques to express the worlds great produce and create flavour memories.
