Trying a new gin today, #Empress1908. Judging by the color I was expecting it to be a little bit sweet, but instead it’s kind of earthy, like wort and fern. Pleasant.

Canadian gin for the win! #empress1908 #vizsla

A Q1908 drink from the Q bar in The Empress hotel. It is in a coupe glass with a slight foam and a rose color to the drink. The drink is garnished with petals on top of the foam.

I completely forgot that one of my favorite gins was made for The Empress hotel and while we were visiting Victoria, BC I had to stop by.

The drink is the Q1908 had elderflower gin, lemon, simple syrup and eggwhite
