The new Victoria Spirits Empress 1908 Original Indigo Gin is 100% authentic and all-natural. It’s infused with the vibrantly tinted butterfly pea blossom, adding a singularly distinct expression – an impossibly lush and vivid indigo blue, with a stunning secret to reveal – with the addition of citrus or tonic, Empress 1908 is transformed from its breathtaking indigo to a soft pink in your glass.
Handcrafted from the same eight organic botanicals (juniper, rose, coriander seed, grapefruit peel, ginger root, cinnamon bark) used in making the famous Empress Hotel (which opened in ‘1908’) tea is used to make this gin. Done in small batch copper-pot stills, this is also gluten-free with phenomenal depth and boldness of spirit. With forward juniper and grapefruit notes, this is gently refined, nuanced and enduring, Empress 1908 is the essence of Victoria.
This color-changing gin is catching on. Fabulous with cocktails.
