Description
Empress 1908 Gin is crafted with meticulous attention to detail, boasting 100% authenticity and natural ingredients. Distilled in small batches using copper-pot stills, this exquisite gin is a product of Victoria Distillers, drawing inspiration from the renowned Fairmont Empress Hotel nestled in Victoria, British Columbia.
Since its establishment in 1908, the Fairmont Empress Hotel has captivated travelers worldwide with its timeless charm, breathtaking panoramas, and unparalleled afternoon tea service. It was within the enchanting blends of Empress tea served at this iconic establishment that the secret ingredient for Empress 1908 Gin was discovered - the distinctive earthy note of butterfly pea blossom.
Eight botanicals are carefully selected to compose this exceptional gin: juniper, rose, coriander seed, grapefruit peel, ginger root, cinnamon bark, and of course, the unique butterfly pea blossom. This blend marries the classic juniper essence of a London Dry gin with a contemporary twist, resulting in a delicate yet opulent flavor profile.
The creation of Empress Indigo Gin was inspired by the rich tradition of afternoon tea at the Fairmont Empress Hotel. By infusing the essence of this tradition with thoughtfully sourced botanicals, Empress Gin endeavors to offer an extraordinary cocktail experience that tantalizes the senses and evokes the timeless elegance of its namesake hotel.
