An award-winning spirit that needs no introduction, the iconic Empress 1908 Gin embraced the opportunity to take distribution international. Produced by one of the oldest small-batch distilleries in Canada, Victoria Distillers in Sidney, B.C., this homegrown product needed a larger-than-life website to promote growth and represent the Empress 1908 brand around the world.

Cocktail culture, made colourfully bold.
Marketing directly to Empress 1908 Gin’s target demographic, we created a highly Instagrammable aesthetic. 3D animation brings in colour, texture, and movement while rich visuals highlight the product’s all-natural botanicals and distinct indigo hue. And while the technology making this design possible is complex, the user experience is beautifully simple, functional, and intuitive.
