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. Its the pea blossom, which we discovered in one of the Empress tea blends, that imbues the gin with a distinctive earthy note.
