Empress
Empress Gin is a luxurious and visually stunning gin from Victoria Distillers in British Columbia, Canada, crafted in partnership with the iconic Fairmont Empress Hotel in Victoria. Known for its deep indigo hue, which transforms into a soft lavender or blush pink when mixed with tonic or citrus, Empress Gin is as visually captivating as it is flavorful. This color-changing effect comes from the addition of butterfly pea blossom, an exotic botanical that gives the gin its vibrant color and a hint of earthy floral notes. The gin pays tribute to the Empress Hotel’s tradition of elegance and timeless hospitality, blending both innovation and tradition into a truly unique spirit.
The flavor profile of Empress Gin is complex and refreshing, incorporating a harmonious blend of botanicals including juniper, grapefruit peel, rose petal, ginger root, and coriander. This balance of citrus, floral, and spice is enriched by Empress Tea, an exclusive black tea blend served at the Empress Hotel, which adds a rich depth and subtle tannic quality. The result is a gin with a floral-forward nose, bright citrus layers, and a smooth, lingering finish, perfect for sipping or mixing in craft cocktails.
Empress Gin’s dramatic color and balanced taste make it a versatile choice for cocktails like gin and tonic, where the vibrant color change takes center stage, or in more intricate drinks like the Empress 75, an elegant twist on the French 75. It invites gin lovers and cocktail enthusiasts alike to explore a new dimension of gin, celebrating both the beauty and craftsmanship that Empress Gin brings to every pour.
