These magical flowers provide the vibrant colour that changes from a deep violet to a lovely lilac with the addition of tonic water.

Four Pillars Rare Dry Gin is the baby of Four Pillars, the firstborn so to speak. It's the concept that brought Four Pillars on this journey ... a really modern Australian gin.
 
The aim was to create a gin that represented the idea of ​​a contemporary Australia: classic, accessible, perfectly seasoned and spiced up with great citrus fruits. Above all, dangerously tasty and made to enjoy the best gin drinks in the world, always with a perfect G&amp;T.
 
The starting point was the clean, bright waters of the Yarra Valley, some of the best in the world. Then nine signature botanicals plus whole oranges were selected to give a highly aromatic character, a Mediterranean warmth to support the more flavorful botanicals like cardamom.
 
Each of these elements (and a lot of love) were distilled together in a magnificent Wilma copper kettle made in Germany until we had a wonderfully clean spirit full of taste.
 
Botanicals come from around the world to capture the essence of contemporary Australian heritage in Europe and Asia.

Four Pillars Rare Dry Gin

Four Pillars Gin

Four Pillars Distillery is in Melbourne’s Yarra Valley, beautiful cool climate wine country. We’d have to be crazy not to take advantage of it. 

So back in 2015 that’s what we did. We were happily making gin out the back of our mate Rob Dolan’s winery, and in late April a tiny parcel of Shiraz came in from one of the region’s best vineyards. Rob wasn’t sure what to do with it, so we took it off his hands – perhaps without his knowledge…

It seemed perfectly obvious to Cam Mackenzie that we should steep these grapes in Rare Dry Gin to see what happened. 

The result was alcoholic alchemy… the juice turned a magical purple colour and found a sweetness straight from the ripe grapes. 

So now each year we take local Shiraz fruit, steep the whole berries in high-proof gin for eight weeks before pressing. The colour remains a deep, rich, reddish purple. Aromatically it shows fresh pine needles, citrus and spice, and distinct peppery, dense raspberry notes. The palate is lovely and sweet with a long juniper and spice character on the finish.

The marriage of our Rare Dry Gin botanicals with the most delicious Shiraz fruit on the planet. No added sugar. None. Ever.

Back in the nineteenth century gin was thought to be panacea to many things encountered on the high seas. The gimlet was invented by a doctor in the Royal Navy to ward off scurvy, with gin to fortify and Roses Lime cordial for Vitamin C. 

But several of the more gin-savvy officers of the Royal Navy suspected their supplies of gin were being diluted so they devised a test.

Often the gin was stored below deck adjacent to the gunpowder and if it was spilt onto the gunpowder and it smoked, the gin had been diluted. Only if the gunpowder still lit was the gin at least 114 proof (or 57% ABV). And so it became known as Navy Strength.

Four Pillars Navy Strength is a gin very much in the Four Pillars style, but with the volume turned up slightly beyond 11. Fresh ginger brings spiciness to the gin, while turmeric adds weight and a lovely earthiness. Also in the botanical basket are some native finger limes, grown in Byron Bay. They have an intensity of flavour that is almost impossible to believe, and they help the gin attain super citrus notes and lovely high-toned freshness.

At 58.8% ABV this gin can support some more robust and delicious botanicals from around the world.

Was das Aroma und den Geschmack anbelangt, sollte der Firestarter Gin in Blau weder überschätzt noch unterschätzt werden. Er ist alles andere als feurig, aggressiv oder extravagant. Man darf sich auf traditionelle Wacholdernoten und ein trockenes Trinkerlebnis mit einem harmonischen Eindruck freuen. Der klare Firestarter Gin bietet Pinie, eine pfeffrige Würze und etwas erdiges bis waldiges. Ein Hauch von Kräutern und Gewürzen schwingt gemeinsam mit Zitrusfrüchten.

Tidal Lines beginnt als köstliches klassisches Gin-Rezept und wird dann über einen Zeitraum von ca. 12 Monaten in ehemaligen Weinfässern aus französischer Eiche mit einheimischen Illawarra-Pflaumen aufgegossen. Der Gin und die Illawarra Plum-Frucht werden beide direkt in die Fässer gefüllt und mit dieser einzigartigen Spirituose vermählt.

Mit Aromen von frischem Wacholder, Regenwaldlimette, Illawarra-Pflaume, Zimt, Angelikawurzel, Iriswurzel und vielen anderen!

Was sind Illawarra-Pflaumen? Illawarra-Pflaumen sind extrem seltene, aus Australien stammende Bush-Tucker-Früchte, die voller Antioxidantien sind. Sie werden nicht kommerziell gezüchtet und sind keine echten Pflaumen, wie wir sie kennen.

In Großbritannien stellen Destillateure ein Produkt namens „Sloe Gin“ her, das als normaler Gin beginnt, dann aber mit Schlehenbeeren, einer kleinen schwarz-blauen Frucht, getränkt wird. Eine Schlehenbeere ähnelt einer Illawarra-Pflaume mit einigen sehr wichtigen Unterschieden. Schlehenbeeren haben keinen äußeren Samen, sind eine völlig andere Art und schmecken ganz anders. Tidal Lines ist eine in Australien heimische Version des britischen Sloe Gins, wobei Illawarra Plums anstelle der Sloe Beeren verwendet werden. Australien hat auch andere Arten von einheimischen "Pflaumen", wie Davidson-Pflaume und Kakadu-Pflaume, die sich von der Illawarra-Pflaume unterscheiden.

The genesis of this gin was back in 2015 when we distilled a little drop called Cousin Vera’s Gin.

Made with our friends at Santamanía Destileria Urbana in Madrid, this was the first gin in our Distiller Series.

It was also was our first foray into savoury, Mediterranean-inspired gin flavours using fresh olives and rosemary.

Cousin Vera’s Gin came and went pretty quickly, but remains a cult classic in the Four Pillars canon for those who crave that savoury style.

After that collaboration, we knew gin and olives would combine beautifully and a trip to the olive groves of northern Victoria confirmed it for us.

It was after visiting Cobram Estate in Boundary Bend during olive harvest that we realised olive oil could be a brilliant botanical alongside dried olive leaves.

The aroma, flavour and texture of fresh olive is stunning, so we did an entire year of trials before finalising the recipe. The result is a completely delicious, savoury and bright gin.

Savoury botanicals like rosemary, bay and olive leaf combine with vibrant olive oil to transport you to the Mediterranean.

Four Pillars Olive Leaf Gin

This gin was originally an exclusive collaboration between Four Pillars Gin, QANTAS and the Rockpool Group.

Alongside some great native botanicals, Asian spices like Szechuan peppercorns gave it a lovely warm mouthfeel (a tiny bit like Neil Perry’s famous numbing duck dish from Spice Temple). Combined with local fruits and Australian macadamia nuts this gave us a gin with lots of softness and spice.

And then something not entirely unexpected happened. Everyone wanted in on this ‘secret’ gin they had seen in fancy restaurants and airport lounges.

We think of it as a modern Australian classic, strongly led on the nose and palate by lashings of juniper.

This traditional underpinning is supported by native lemon myrtle, quandong, macadamia nuts, fresh grapefruit peel, red and green Szechuan (because what would modern Australia be without Chinese flavours?) and fresh red apples.

The result is a bright and dry gin, made in a truly Australian way, and now available for everyone to share.
