Empirical Charlene McGee is an experimental smoke-forward spirit from Empirical, the Copenhagen flavor company founded by Lars Williams and Mark Emil Hermansen — named with a nod to the fire-starting character, and built around a distinctive smoky, pyroligneous character that sets it apart from conventional spirits.
Empirical approaches spirits the way a kitchen approaches flavor, drawing on its founders' Noma background and a low-intervention, ingredient-led philosophy. Charlene McGee leans into smoke as its defining signature — an aromatic, savory spirit meant to be explored on its own terms rather than treated as a classic juniper gin.
