Distiller Notes
The most awarded (and delicious) overproof gin on the planet. The secret is native finger limes, ginger and turmeric.This high proof gin has power and intensity. There are lifted aromatics of lime curd, pine needles, and fragrant spices with a vanilla character which pulls it all together. The palate is intense - sweet and juicy - but it is still very clean. Native Australian finger limes give it explosive citrus, fresh ginger gives a bold spice lift, and turmeric adds weight to the palate and a fresh but earthy quality, not unlike dill.
Proof: 117.6
It all started back in 2013 with three mates and one extraordinary copper still. They called her Wilma (after Cameron’s beautiful late mother), and she has since been joined by Jude, Eileen, Beth, and Coral.
Six years later, in 2019, Four Pillars Gin was named the world’s leading gin producer by the International Wine & Spirits Competition (IWSC) in London. They won again in 2020, making Australia’s favorite gin officially the world’s best.
Healesville is the home of Four Pillars Distillery - just out of Melbourne, Australia. This is where they make and experiment with gin. The process of making great gin is an art, balancing purity of spirit and concentration of flavor. At Four Pillars Distillery they use the best stills, water and botanicals to make the world’s most delicious and awarded range of craft gins.
Every gin made at Four Pillars is full of the bold, vibrant flavors of Australia. The summers are a little longer here, the sun is just that bit hotter, so the fruit get riper and the people get thirstier. Which is why every gin is packed full of flavor and dangerously drinkable.
Enjoying an enthusiastic resurgence in modern cocktail culture, Gin, a.k.a. ‘Dutch Courage,’ was originally touted as a 16th century cure for cowardice and stomach ailments. Arguably the broadest and most dynamic category of spirits in terms of flavor profiles and production styles, Gin is a distilled grain spirit that derives its primary flavor from juniper berries and secondary flavors from a dazzling array of spices, herbs, fruits and botanicals. It is both produced and enjoyed all around the world and is most commonly mixed into cocktails such as the Martini or simply added to tonic water.
