Empress 1908 Cucumber Lemon Gin 750ml
Bright. Botanical. A refreshing twist on classic gin.
Empress 1908 Cucumber Lemon Gin is a contemporary Canadian gin crafted by Victoria Distillers in British Columbia. Inspired by the flavors of an English afternoon tea, this small-batch spirit features eight botanicals including cucumber, lemon zest, juniper, jasmine, and star anise. Unlike the brand's iconic Indigo Gin, this expression is crystal-clear and delivers a crisp, citrusy profile with subtle herbal complexity.

How to Serve Liquor – Quick Tips
- Temperature Matters: Serve whiskey and bourbon at room temperature, vodka chilled, and tequila slightly cool to preserve aroma and balance.
- Choose the Right Glass: Use a rocks glass for whiskey, a flute or coupe for sparkling spirits, and a tulip or snifter for aged liquors.
- Don’t Rush the Pour: Allow spirits to breathe for a few moments before tasting — it softens alcohol notes and opens complex flavors.
- Savor with Intention: Sip slowly, appreciate aroma before taste, and pair thoughtfully with food or fine company.
