Empress 1908 Indigo Gin is a premium Canadian gin from Victoria Distillers that features a distinctive vivid indigo-blue color derived from an infusion of butterfly pea blossoms. This unique color-changing gin transforms to an attractive pink hue when tonic or citrus are added due to pH level changes. The recipe incorporates 8 botanicals, balancing traditional citrus notes with warm herbal earthiness.

At 42.5% alcohol by volume (85 proof), the flavor profile showcases juniper, coriander, ginger, and hints of orris root and white pepper. The aroma is relatively neutral while the palate delivers a mild and malty character with citrus, floral, and spicy notes. The gin uses no artificial colors or stabilizers in its creation, relying entirely on natural tea botanicals for both flavor and color.

Highly rated with 90 points from Wine Enthusiast and 4.7 stars from consumer reviews, Empress 1908 is celebrated for its smooth, pleasant taste and stunning visual presentation. The butterfly pea blossom infusion not only creates the signature indigo color but also enables impressive color-changing cocktail presentations. While the flavor lasts indefinitely, the natural indigo hue will fade over time when exposed to sunlight, so it's recommended to store in a cool, dark place and enjoy within a year of purchase for optimal visual impact.
