Distiller Notes
A savory gin, built to make a mind-blowing Martini. Olive Leaf Gin is clean, herbaceous and bright, with evident olive briny notes. Four Pillars uses three different types of olive oil plus olive leaf from the world-class groves of Victoria's Cobram Estate. The aroma, flavor and texture of fresh olive is stunning. Macadamia contributes weight and length to the spirit, with rosemary and bay leaf adding savory, fresh, herbaceous notes. Lemons add zest and lift the gin.

A cool, lightly mentholated whiff leads into a savory palate featuring rosemary, fleeting green olive, a hint of saline and a zippy juniper finish. Made as an antidote to citrusy gins, the producer says, this gin is made in the Yarra Valley from Australian olive leaf and olive oil. Producer recommends for Gibsons.
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.
