Empress 1908 Gin

Description

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.

Tasting Notes

Empress 1908 Gin uses eight signature botanicals, including juniper, grapefruit peel, rose petal, coriander, ginger, cinnamon, and a bespoke blend of tea made especially for the Empress Hotel. The eighth botanical, exotic butterfly pea blossom, was discovered in another tea served at the Empress Hotel. These blossoms balance the traditional citrus notes of gin with a warm herbal earthiness, and create a deep, natural indigo that changes colour depending on the mixer.
