Empress 1908 Indigo Gin 750 ml

Handcrafted in small batch copper-pot stills, Empress 1908 Indigo Gin is made by Victoria Distillers and inspired by the legendary Fairmont Empress Hotel in Victoria, British Columbia. Since 1908, travelers from around the world have fallen in love with the hotel for its majestic grandeur, picturesque vistas, and incomparable afternoon tea service. This tradition in particular inspired the creation of Empress Indigo Gin. By taking a classic Empress tea and coupling it with carefully sourced botanicals, we created a unique gin that pairs traditional juniper notes of a London Dry with a modern flavour profile. The result is a gin that is at once delicate and opulent.

Empress 1908 Indigo Gin’s distinct flavour profile is a result of the fine balance of 8 natural botanicals. On top of traditional elements, we add a signature blend of black tea served at the Empress Hotel and butterfly pea blossom, an exotic herb that balances the traditional citrus notes of gin with a warm herbal earthiness, and gives the gin its natural indigo colour.
