OUR STORY
Welcome! Empress 1908 Gin is a collaboration between Victoria Distillers and British Columbia’s legendary Empress Hotel. Handcrafted in small batch copper-pot stills using 8 botanicals, Empress 1908 is the perfect combination of exquisite taste, delicate aroma, soft texture, and remarkable indigo colour that provides the perfect base for a new aesthetic of cocktail creation and enjoyment.
EMPRESS 1908 GIN
All-natural, handmade, small batch. Empress 1908’s botanical recipe features a subtle juniper varietal, a bespoke blend of tea made especially for the Empress Hotel, grapefruit peel, rose petal for floral notes, Indian coriander seed, aromatic ginger root, and spicy cinnamon bark. The eighth botanical, exotic butterfly pea blossom, was discovered in another tea blend served at the Empress Hotel. These blossoms balance the traditional citrus notes of gin with a warm herbal earthiness, and imbue the gin with a deep indigo colour that changes to bright lavender, soft pink, or fuchsia depending on the mixer.
TASTING NOTES:
Aromatic spice and bold citrus on the palette, balanced by a warm herbal earthiness, light floral fragrance, and subtle juniper. 42.5% ABV. Gluten Free.
