Four Pillars Rare Dry Gin

Four Pillars is an Australian craft gin distillery in Healesville, in Victoria's Yarra Valley, founded by Cameron Mackenzie, Stuart Gregor and Matt Jones. Its gins are made in German CARL copper pot stills, each named after one of the founders' mothers, and combine classic juniper with native Australian botanicals. The distillery has been named International Gin Producer of the Year by the IWSC several times.

Rare Dry Gin is the distillery's flagship, bottled at 41.8% ABV. It is made with fresh whole oranges, lemon myrtle and Tasmanian pepperberry leaf alongside juniper, coriander, cardamom and star anise. Expect ripe orange on the nose with a gentle warmth from the pepperberry leaf, a smooth, fresh palate of juniper and spiced citrus sweetness, and a lingering orange finish. Excellent in a gin and tonic with an orange slice, and well suited to classic gin cocktails.
