Description
1908 Empress Elderflower Rose is a gin that captivates with its distinct floral character, drawing on the lush landscapes of British Columbia. This gin showcases prominent notes of elderflower, offering a graceful sweetness that intertwines seamlessly with the subtle perfume of rose. At 42.5% ABV, it strikes a balance between aromatic sophistication and exceptional clarity, providing a refreshing palate experience that is both complex and inviting. Designed with versatility in mind, 1908 Empress Elderflower Rose shines in a variety of classic cocktails. Its botanical profile adds an elegant twist to a traditional Gin & Tonic, where its floral notes are complemented when served in a balloon glass brimming with ice and finished with a lemon twist or a sprig of fresh mint. For those who appreciate the layered flavors of a Negroni, this gin's floral hints add a nuanced depth that pairs beautifully with the bitterness of Campari. In a Martini, its delicate rose essence unfolds, enhancing the drink’s smooth, crisp finish. When serving 1908 Empress Elderflower Rose, consider the glassware as much a part of the experience as the gin itself. A highball glass allows the floral aromas to flourish, especially when accompanied by a garnish of fresh rosemary or edible flowers, offering both a visual and olfactory delight. This gin's aromatic qualities also lend themselves beautifully to a Tom Collins, where its elderflower notes elevate the classic combination of lemon juice and soda water, making it a delightful refreshment on a warm day. Whether mixed into a cocktail or served simply over ice, this gin invites exploration and enjoyment with each sip.

Sipped it on the deck at sunset. Big floral kick, really nice in a simple G&T but maybe too much rose for me solo.
Response from CBC Liquors, Westford
Glad you tried it outside, makes those flavors pop. If you want something less floral next time, Empress Classic has more of that traditional gin vibe.
