- Does the distillery offer tours?

- Where does Empress 1908 get its indigo hue from?
Empress 1908 Gin’s unique indigo colour is all-natural. It comes from the infusion of butterfly pea blossoms post-distillation. The addition of this flower provides Empress 1908 with a warm, herbal earthiness, soft texture, and stunning blue hue. Learn more about our botanical recipe here.
- Will the colour of my Empress 1908 fade over time?
Yes. The distinct flavour and colour of Empress 1908 Gin comes from the infusion of tea botanicals. No artificial colours or stabilizers are used in its creation — so while the flavour will last forever, its unique indigo hue will not. Fading of the natural colour is accelerated by exposure to sunlight. We recommend that you experience each bottle within a year of purchase and store in a cool, dark place. A gin this beautiful is meant to be enjoyed at its best.
