Empress 1908 Indigo Gin, Canada - 750ML

Heritage: Produced by Victoria Distillers and inspired by the legendary Fairmont Empress Hotel, Empress 1908 Indigo Gin incorporates a bespoke black tea blend served during the hotel's renowned afternoon tea service. This unique foundation, combined with carefully selected botanicals, creates a spirit that reflects both traditional gin-making and the elegance of Victoria’s hospitality heritage.

Tasting: The nose opens with bright juniper, citrus zest, and delicate floral notes, followed by subtle hints of rose and black tea. On the palate, vibrant grapefruit and coriander mingle with warming ginger and cinnamon, while butterfly pea blossom contributes a gentle earthy character and silky texture. The finish is clean, aromatic, and softly spiced, with lingering botanical complexity.

Serving: Exceptionally versatile, Empress 1908 shines in a premium Gin & Tonic, where citrus transforms its indigo color into shades of lavender and pink. It also excels in a French 75, Tom Collins, or contemporary gin sour, offering both visual appeal and layered botanical depth. For a more contemplative experience, serve over a large cube with a twist of grapefruit.

Impression: Empress 1908 Indigo Gin is far more than a visually captivating spirit. Its thoughtful blend of tea, spice, citrus, and floral botanicals delivers a refined and memorable drinking experience that appeals equally to cocktail enthusiasts and gin aficionados. Elegant, distinctive, and unmistakably Canadian, it remains one of the most recognizable modern gins on the market.
