Empress 1908 Gin appeals to one’s sense of creative delight more than any other gin in the world thanks to its harmonious citrus and spice palette, brilliant color, light floral fragrance, and soft texture. Empress 1908, distilled by Victoria Distillers in small batches in copper pot stills, is named after the storied Fairmont Empress Hotel in Victoria, British Columbia. Eight distinctive botanicals are used in its hand-crafted preparation, including a delicate juniper variety, a specially formulated tea blend for the Empress Hotel, grapefruit peel, rose petals for floral notes, Indian coriander seed, aromatic ginger root, and hot cinnamon bark. The exotic butterfly pea blossom, the eighth botanical, was found in another tea blend offered at the Empress Hotel. These blossoms blend the usual citrus notes of gin with a warm herbal earthiness, and fill the gin with a deep blue colour that transitions to bright lavender, gentle pink, or fuchsia depending on the mixer. The perfect foundation for a new aesthetic of cocktail creation and enjoyment is provided by the marriage of exquisite taste, delicate aroma, soft texture, and remarkable presentation. Allow your inner genius to shine.

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.
