Empress 1908 Original Dry Gin is one of the most visually stunning and instantly recognizable spirits in the world — a small-batch, organic gin from Victoria Distillers in British Columbia, Canada, that turns heads before it ever touches a glass. Named after the iconic Fairmont Empress Hotel in Victoria, BC — built in 1908 — this gin is crafted with eight botanicals including juniper, grapefruit peel, coriander, rose petal, cinnamon, ginger, the hotel's signature Fairmont Empress Tea blend, and butterfly pea blossom, which gives the gin its breathtaking natural indigo hue. The magic doesn't stop there — add tonic or citrus and watch Empress transform from deep indigo to a soft blush pink right in your glass, making it the most visually dramatic G&T you've ever poured. Beyond the color, this is a classic, well-balanced gin with bold juniper, bright citrus, floral violet, earthy tea, and warm spice — stunning in a G&T, Martini, or any cocktail calling for a gin that delivers both beauty and character.
