From a small distillery in the Yarra Valley outside Melbourne to the title of world's leading gin producer two years running. Four Pillars proves that Australian gin can match even the most tradition-steeped European houses in both ambition and finesse.

  • Bottle of Four Pillars Bloody Shiraz Gin from Australia
    Item no.: 2222786539-6069

    Every year at harvest, Four Pillars macerates freshly crushed Shiraz grapes from the Yarra Valley into the house's Rare Dry Gin, giving it a deep ruby colour with no added sugar.

    Expert's description

    Four Pillars Bloody Shiraz Gin is an Australian gin built on the house's Rare Dry Gin, bottled at 37.8%.

    The gin is built on the botanicals of Four Pillars Rare Dry Gin, including juniper and Tasmanian pepperberry, joined by freshly crushed Shiraz grapes from the Yarra Valley.

    All the sweetness and the deep, purple colour come entirely from the grapes themselves, with no added sugar.

    The gin is made only once a year, at the time of the Shiraz harvest, making it a seasonal specialty release.

    Palate

  • Bottle of Four Pillars Navy Strength Gin from Australia
    Item no.: 2222786539-6071

    From the Yarra Valley comes this powerful gin, where Australian finger lime and turmeric meet fresh ginger at a strength that intensifies the entire botanical palette.

    Expert's description

    Four Pillars Navy Strength Gin is an Australian Navy Strength Gin, bottled at 58.8%.

    The gin is built on nine carefully selected botanicals, including juniper, fresh ginger root, turmeric, native finger limes and classic botanicals such as coriander seed and star anise.

    The fresh ginger adds spiciness, while the turmeric brings weight and earthiness, and finger limes, grown in Byron Bay, provide an intense citrus-fresh character.

    Compared to the house's Rare Dry Gin, the Navy Strength edition has more zesty notes of orange and lemon rind, lemongrass, sea salt and anise.

  • Bottle of Four Pillars Rare Dry Gin from Yarra Valley, Australia
    Item no.: 2222786539-1033

    Three friends with a shared obsession for gin settled into an old timber yard in the Yarra Valley in 2013. They wanted to prove Australia had something new to say about gin, and won the world's best gin title two years running to prove it.

    Expert's description

    Four Pillars Rare Dry Gin is an Australian Dry Gin distilled in Healesville in the Yarra Valley and bottled at 41.8%.

    The distillery was founded by Stuart Gregor, Cameron Mackenzie and Matt Jones, who in 2015 moved production into a former timber yard in Healesville, right in the heart of the Yarra Valley wine region.

    Botanicals such as coriander, juniper, cardamom, star anise, lemon myrtle, Tasmanian mountain pepper, lavender, cinnamon and angelica are joined by whole, organic oranges, not dried peel, because Australian citrus is unusually aromatic in its fresh form.

    Cardamom, cinnamon and star anise add a warm, fruitcake-like depth, while Tasmanian pepperberry brings heat without harshness, and lemon myrtle serves as a native Australian alternative to lemon peel.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    The nose is warm and spiced with cardamom and cinnamon, lifted by a fresh, aromatic orange note.

    Palate

    The palate is full-bodied with juniper and spice up front, backed by the freshness of lemon myrtle and a light peppery warmth.

    Finish

    The finish is long and spiced, with a last trace of star anise and orange.

  • Bottle of Four Pillars Spiced Negroni Gin from Australia
    Item no.: 2222786539-6073

    Created with one purpose in mind, the perfect Negroni, Four Pillars boosts the amount of Tasmanian pepperberry leaf and cinnamon and adds grains of paradise, organic blood orange and ginger to the recipe.

    Expert's description

    Four Pillars Bartender Series Spiced Negroni Gin is an Australian gin built on the house's Rare Dry Gin, bottled at 43.8%.

    The gin starts from Four Pillars Rare Dry Gin, but boosts the amount of Tasmanian pepperberry leaf and cinnamon and adds grains of paradise, organic blood orange and ginger.

    The spices are specifically chosen to hold their own against Campari and sweet vermouth in a Negroni, without being drowned out by the cocktail's other powerful flavours.

    The result is an aromatic, rich and spicy gin with great power and intensity, designed to be drunk in cocktails rather than on its own.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    The nose offers herbaceous notes mixed with dark fruit sweetness, a hint of ginger and rhubarb, and a festive touch of cinnamon and orange.

    Palate

    The palate develops notes of fennel and damson on the mid-palate.

    Finish

    The finish carries peppermint and black liquorice.
