Distillery Info
Not far from the Four Pillars distillery at Healesville are some of Yarra Valley's most auspicious vineyards. With this at their doorstep, distiller, Cameron Mackenzie took inspiration from the traditional purple-hued sloe berry Gins of the UK, by creating a uniquely Australian rendition.
'Bloody Shiraz Gin' combines some of the Yarra Valley's finest cool-climate Shiraz grapes and Four Pillars high-proof 'Rare Dry Gin' which are macerated for an eight-week period to extract maximum colour and flavour, bottled without filtration.
The end result showcases a lovely balance of the Four Pillars Gin aromatics, along with a dense raspberry sweetness, that lends itself to enjoying on its lonesome - on the rocks with a twist of citrus (orange is our pick).
Unlike Sloe Gin, the alcohol is 37.8%
