Its indigo colour, which turns a soft pink with citrus or tonic, makes it instantly recognisable.<\/p>\n<h2>The house: Victoria Distillers<\/h2>\n<p>This gin is made by Victoria Distillers in Sidney, British Columbia, one of Canada\u2019s oldest small-batch spirits companies. The waterfront distillery houses the copper pot stills. The Empress Hotel, built in 1908, is known for its Victorian architecture and its regal afternoon tea service: to create the gin, the team explored around twenty of the hotel\u2019s teas before choosing its signature blend, Empress Blend. The distillery highlights sustainable production practices, including a geothermal cooling system.<\/p>\n<h2>Empress 1908 Indigo Gin<\/h2>\n<p>Eight botanicals go into it, including the Empress Blend tea. Six of them are macerated overnight before distillation; the Empress Blend tea and the butterfly pea blossom are infused after distillation, to preserve their delicate flavours and the gin\u2019s signature indigo colour. It is bottled at 42.5% ABV in a 70 cl bottle.<\/p>\n<h2>Tasting notes<\/h2>\n<p>The producer describes a balanced citrus-and-spice palate, a light floral fragrance and a soft texture. The butterfly pea blossom infusion adds subtle earthy flavours. It is an approachable gin that appeals to a wide range of palates.<\/p>\n<h2>Cocktails and serving<\/h2>\n<p>The house signature is the Empress &amp; Tonic: premium tonic water and a grapefruit garnish, which echoes the grapefruit peel in the gin. Watching the colour change is half the pleasure. The house also suggests the Empress 75, the Empress Negroni or the Empress Martini.<\/p>\n<h3>Discover more<\/h3>\n<p>Carry on with the <a href=\"https:\/\/sjv-maurelfreres.com\/en\/produit\/dalat-flowerbomb-gin-lady-trieu\/\">Dalat Flowerbomb Gin<\/a> by Lady Tri\u1ec7u, or browse all our <a href=\"https:\/\/sjv-maurelfreres.com\/en\/categorie-produit\/spiritueux-en\/gin\/\">gins<\/a> and our full range of <a href=\"https:\/\/sjv-maurelfreres.com\/en\/categorie-produit\/spiritueux-en\/\">spirits<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><em>Alcohol abuse is dangerous for your health.
