Empress 1908 Indigo Gin 750ML

The All-Natural, Color-Changing Modern Classic

Transform your home bar into a theatrical mixology station with the show-stopping brilliance of Empress 1908 Indigo Gin. Handcrafted in small copper pot stills by Victoria Distillers in British Columbia, Canada, this world-renowned spirit was created in collaboration with the legendary Fairmont Empress Hotel. It fuses classic London Dry structure with a vibrant, modern botanical personality.

Housed in a minimalist 750ml clear glass bottle that showcases its deep, natural royal-indigo hue, Empress 1908 is famous for its natural color-changing magic. When mixed with acidic ingredients like fresh citrus juice or tonic water, the liquid’s pH changes, instantly shifting its shade from royal indigo blue to a stunning lavender pink.

The balanced botanical complexity and vivid hue of Empress 1908 rely on an artisanal distillation process and post-distillation infusion:

1. The Eight Botanical Blend: The spirit is copper-pot distilled with eight organic botanicals: traditional juniper berries, coriander seed, grapefruit peel, ginger root, cinnamon bark, rose petal, and the Fairmont Empress Hotel’s signature blended black tea.

2. Butterfly Pea Blossom Infusion: Post-distillation, the gin is infused with butterfly pea blossoms. This natural botanical imparts a striking indigo hue and earthy herbal back-note without using artificial dyes or sugars.

3. The Cocktail-Ready Proof: Proofed with pure Canadian glacial water to 42.5% ABV (85 Proof), it provides a robust, flavor-forward foundation that stands out in mixed drinks.

Taste Profile & Color-Changing Mixology

• The Profile: Striking indigo blue in the bottle, shifting to soft lavender-pink when combined with citrus or tonic. It is medium-bodied, remarkably smooth, and offers a balanced balance of earthy tea, bright citrus, and clean pine.

• Flavor Highlights: A delicate nose opens with fresh juniper, warm ginger, and bright citrus peel, supported by a gentle floral tea aroma. On the palate, piney juniper leads into warm baking spice, soft rose petal, and a dry, earthy black tea grip.

• The Finish: Clean, medium in length, and pleasantly dry, leaving a lingering warmth of ginger, grapefruit zest, and herbal tea.

• In Visual Mixology: Empress 1908 serves as an elite base for creative cocktails. Pair it with premium tonic and a grapefruit wheel for a stunning Empress & Tonic, or shake it with fresh lemon juice and simple syrup to pour a vivid, pink-hued Empress 1908 Sour.
