Commercial description
Inspired by the beautiful tea service at the iconic Fairmont Empress Hotel, we set out to create an extraordinary cocktail experience, one that would be a delight to the senses.
Empress 1908?s unique flavour stands out for the fine balance of natural botanicals that go into its distillation.
We invite you to read our story, from the inspiration behind Empress 1908 to the unique ingredients that make it so exceptional. Take a look at some of the incredible cocktails that can only be made with Empress 1908, including our signature Empress & Tonic. Then taste for yourself.
Micro-distilled in small batch copper-pot stills, Empress 1908 is hand-crafted using eight signature botanicals: tea, juniper, rose, coriander seed, grapefruit peel, ginger root, cinnamon bark, and butterfly pea blossom. It?s the pea blossom, which we discovered in one of the Empress tea blends, that imbues the gin with a distinctive earthy note.

This is a delicious gin and the colour is an added bonus!
I used too only have Butterfly Gin from Tasmania. This one hits the spot. Its fragrance and light, and love the changing colour when tonic of lemon is added. Great for summer vibes or a Friday night.
Perfection
I first cam across Empress Gin 708 in an advert. It was so alluring that I decided to give it a try. I bought my first bottle and never looked back. It is subtle, fun, great tasting and sophisticated all wrapped into one. I just love the colour as it changes from blue to purple (my favourite colour) when I add tonic to it. I also add a few beads of blue berries for the ultimate look and taste.
A light, fragrant and gorgeous gin with both tonic - if you want to watch it turn a amethyst purple - or enjoy it simply with soda water to appreciate it's full complexity and delicacy.
