The Empress 1908 Premium Gin Collection brings three naturally colored gins in 375ml bottles in one gift box: Indigo Gin, Elderflower Rose Gin and Cucumber Lemon Gin, bottled at 85 proof (42.5% ABV).
All three are distilled in small batches in British Columbia, Canada, by Victoria Distillers. Empress 1908 Indigo Gin is distilled in copper-pot stills with eight signature botanicals, including butterfly pea blossom, discovered in a tea blend served at the Empress Hotel in Victoria. The blossom gives the gin its deep indigo hue and a warm, earthy note that balances traditional citrus.
Indigo Gin shows grapefruit, juniper and subtle earthy black tea on the nose, with bright citrus, spice and herbal complexity on the palate. Elderflower Rose Gin brings rose petals, elderflower, gentle citrus, sweet spice and rose hips, with soft floral sweetness balanced by grapefruit and juniper. Cucumber Lemon Gin rounds out the trio with a crisp, refreshing profile.
The illustrated gift box makes it a ready-made present for cocktail lovers.
Each 375ml bottle is a generous half-size, perfect for exploring all three styles.
Indigo Gin's citrus and juniper core makes it a versatile base for a classic gin and tonic or a Martini.
Elderflower Rose Gin suits spritzes and sparkling cocktails, where its floral notes shine.
Cucumber Lemon Gin is made for crisp, summery highballs with soda or tonic.
The set makes it easy to host a gin tasting at home.
Bartenders love Empress gins for the vivid color they bring to cocktails.
The box is ready to wrap, making it an easy holiday or birthday present.
