Discover Empress 1908 Elderflower Rose Gin:
Empress 1908 Elderflower Rose Gin is a unique and sophisticated spirit that offers an intriguing blend of flavors. The gin is infused with the delicate floral notes of elderflower and rose, which are beautifully balanced by the traditional juniper base. This combination results in a gin that is both refreshing and complex, with a subtle sweetness that complements the botanicals perfectly. The Empress 1908 Elderflower Rose Gin also stands out for its striking color, which comes from the infusion of butterfly pea blossom – this gives it an alluring indigo hue that changes to soft pink when mixed with tonic or citrus.
The production process of Empress 1908 Elderflower Rose Gin involves meticulous attention to detail. Each batch is handcrafted using eight carefully selected botanicals: juniper, rose petals, coriander seed, grapefruit peel, ginger root, cinnamon bark and butterfly pea blossoms. These ingredients are steeped in grain alcohol for several hours to extract their flavors before being distilled in copper pot stills. This method ensures a high-quality gin with a smooth finish and depth of flavor that sets it apart from other gins on the market. Whether enjoyed neat or as part of a cocktail, Empress 1908 Elderflower Rose Gin offers an exceptional drinking experience.

Gin is a distilled spirit that primarily features grain as its base ingredient, such as barley, corn, rye, or wheat, and is characterized by the prominent use of juniper berries along with various botanicals like coriander, angelica root, and citrus peels. Typically distilled in pot stills or column stills, gin may also undergo re-distillation with these botanicals to enhance its flavor profile. Most gins are unaged; however, some styles may be briefly aged in barrels to develop unique characteristics.
The flavor and aroma profile of gin is predominantly piney and herbal due to the juniper berries, often complemented by bright citrus notes from lemon and orange peels as well as floral elements like lavender. With a light to medium body that can range from smooth to crisp depending on the production method, gin serves as a versatile base for classic cocktails such as Gin & Tonic, Martini, Negroni, and Tom Collins. Its diverse styles include London Dry gin from the United Kingdom and Jenever from the Netherlands among others.
