The fact that this gin changes colour to pink, with the addition of either tonic water or citrus, does not detract from the fact that this is a high quality, juniper & grapefruit driven, London Dry, no-nonsense gin from British Columbia, Canada & made by Victoria Distillers. The name takes itself from their teaming up with the famous Empress Hotel in Victoria, famous for their afternoon teas, & from where master-distiller Peter Hunt took his inspiration, making hundreds of small distillations before deciding on the other botanicals, which include juniper, grapefruit peel, ginger, cinnamon, rose & butterflower pea flower.
