Tasting Notes
Appearance
Four Pillars Rare Dry Gin presents a clean, crystal clear appearance with excellent clarity — the hallmark of a contemporary Australian gin distilled in the Yarra Valley from a carefully considered botanical selection that captures the essence of Australia’s heritage in Europe and Asia. Bright, fresh and immediately inviting in the glass.
Aroma
Spicy and citrus-forward on the nose — whole Australian oranges lead with a highly aromatic, vibrant citrus character, supported by cardamom, cinnamon and star anise adding rich fruitcake warmth and complexity. Tasmanian pepperberry leaf provides gentle warmth rather than heat, and lemon myrtle offers a beautiful native alternative to lemon peel. A gin that captures contemporary Australia in every breath.
Palate
A perfect balance of spice and citrus — whole orange and cardamom lead with freshness and depth, with cinnamon and star anise delivering rich fruitcake tones that add genuine complexity. The Tasmanian pepperberry leaf provides warmth without heat, and the lemon myrtle carries a clean, native citrus character through to a long, satisfying finish. Classic gin structure with a distinctly modern Australian soul.
Pairs With
Outstanding in a classic gin and tonic with a slice of orange — equally exceptional in a Negroni, a gin martini or a citrus gin spritz. The spice, whole orange and native botanicals make this a versatile and rewarding gin for any occasion, and the ideal base for cocktails of all persuasions.
