SOKA combines distillates of fermented fresh sorghum juice and syrup. The fresh juice lends springy, green flavors of melon, cucumber, and green apple, with the syrup bringing forward darker aromas of harvest, and notes of hay and toasted honey. Enjoy neat, with cola or in a twist on a Mojito.

The story behind SOKA

Journey with us to Rolling Meadows Farm in Wisconsin, where the rich history of sorghum meets modern distillation expertise.

At the heart of SOKA is the quest for innovation. Sorghum, a hidden gem in spirits, sparked curiosity at Empirical Spirits. As they dived deeper, they explored its rich history, unique properties, and natural sugar content.

The creative process led to fermenting sorghum syrup and experimenting with fresh cane juice from European sorghum. A blend of yeast strains, including the intriguing Thai Rice Chong, unveiled notes of freshly cut grass and green apples that captured the imagination.

Venturing to Wisconsin, Empirical Spirits teamed up with Richard and Brenda Wittgreve, turning sorghum syrup and juice into liquid art. At Central Standard Distillery in Milwaukee, fermentation added depth to the journey.

SOKA is a fusion of passion and dedication. They reused fermented juice wash to enhance the syrup, crafting critical esters that infuse notes of fermented grass and a hint of brininess. Vacuum distillation preserves these precious esters, resulting in the harmonious blend that is SOKA.

At Barkonsult, we proudly present SOKA by Empirical Spirits, a testament to connections that transcend time and flavor. Explore, savor, and indulge in the essence of SOKA – an experience that brings the world to your glass.
