Victoria Distillers Empress 1908 Indigo Gin

A truly distinct and visually stunning gin handcrafted by Victoria Distillers and inspired by the legendary Fairmont Empress Hotel in British Columbia.

This gin is famous for its vibrant indigo hue, which comes naturally from the infusion of butterfly pea blossom. This exotic botanical also causes the gin to beautifully change colour (to pink, lavender, or fuchsia) when mixed with citrus or tonic, adding a magical element to cocktails.

Key Botanicals: A signature blend of eight botanicals, including Juniper, Rose Petals, Grapefruit Peel, Ginger, Cinnamon, Coriander, and a special black tea blend from the Fairmont Empress Hotel, along with the butterfly pea blossom.

Tasting Notes: Balances traditional juniper and citrus (grapefruit) notes with a warm, earthy herbalness and subtle floral hints. The texture is notably soft and smooth.

Serving Suggestion: Essential for show-stopping cocktails, such as a signature Empress & Tonic or a vivid Aviation.
