Today’s Giveaway:  Empress 1908 Gin

I’ve had the privilege of getting to know Empress Gin over the years…first in a glass poured at the actual Empress Hotel in Victoria and that began the love affair. We have had them as a partner at Christmas and they also played a big part in our annual Covenant House fundraiser. They are a wonderful company only topped by an even better gin! Trust me folks, this is a slam dunk winner of a prize…and there are going to be 10 winners!! Good luck.

EXPERIENCE THE ELEGANCE OF GIN

Empress 1908 Gin delights the senses with its balanced citrus-and-spice palette, brilliant colour, light floral fragrance and soft texture. Handcrafted in small batch copper-pot stills, Empress 1908 is a collaboration between Victoria Distillers and the legendary Fairmont Empress Hotel in Victoria, British Columbia. It uses eight signature botanicals, including juniper, grapefruit peel, rose petal, coriander, ginger, cinnamon, and a bespoke blend of tea made especially for the Empress Hotel. The eighth botanical, exotic butterfly pea blossom, was discovered in another tea served at the Empress Hotel. These blossoms balance the traditional citrus notes of gin with a warm herbal earthiness, and create a deep, natural indigo that changes colour depending on the mixer. The combination of exquisite taste, delicate aroma, soft texture, and remarkable presentation provide the perfect base for a new aesthetic of cocktail creation and enjoyment.
