Welcome! Empress 1908 Gin is a collaboration between Victoria Distillers and British Columbia’s legendary Empress Hotel.

TEN TO ONE DARK RUM
A masterful blend of 8-year-old Barbados, Dominican and Trinidadian column still rums individually aged in ex-Bourbon American oak casks, and combined with high ester unaged Jamaican pot still rum. 100% rum with no added sugar, coloring, or flavoring. 40% ABV
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.
