Empress 1908 Elderflower Rose Gin

Empress 1908 Elderflower Rose Gin is a captivating and aromatic spirit that builds upon the legacy of Empress 1908 Indigo Gin. Crafted by Victoria Distillers in British Columbia, it pays homage to the "City of Gardens" (Victoria) with a bright floral bouquet of nine unique botanicals, including juniper, red rose petals, elderflower, lavender, orange peel, orris root, cinnamon bark, coriander seed, and black carrot. The latter two contribute to its stunning, all-natural ruby hue, reminiscent of the city's vibrant blossoms. Bottled at 42.5% ABV.  

Tasting Notes:

• Aroma: The nose is led by piney juniper and the distinct floral notes of rose and elderflower, supported by underlying hints of bitter orange peel and lavender.   
• Palate: The palate offers a rich and balanced profile where juniper is evenly matched with floral rose flavors, complemented by the other botanicals. There's an understated floral sweetness with subtle citrus and spice notes.   
• Finish: The finish is warm and pleasant, with juniper taking charge as the floral elements gently fade.   

Awards and Recognition:

• Silver Medal at the Bartender Spirits Awards (2024).   

Overall Impression: Empress 1908 Elderflower Rose Gin is an exquisite and visually stunning gin that captures the essence of a blooming garden. Its delicate and understated floral palate, with a harmonious blend of rose and elderflower alongside classic gin botanicals and a hint of sweetness, makes it a versatile spirit for crafting elegant and refreshing cocktails. The all-natural ruby color, derived from red rose petals and black carrot, adds a touch of natural beauty to any drink. While the color may fade over time, the delightful flavor profile ensures a memorable gin experience.
