On the nose this is raisins and sultanas with just a touch of nuts, dried fruit and oaky spice. A big, rich, luscious velvety palate with a strong character evoking dates and prunes. Further complexity slowly revelas itself as creamy raisins and espresso coffee. Very sweet but on the finish there is the merest hint of balancing acidity which is very welcome.
PX sherries from Jerez are made with very ripe grapes that have been dried in the sun for up to 20 days. This concentrates the sugars and flavours within the grape as the water evaporates and gives rise to a much sweeter must; the wine can only achieve partial fermentation in such a high fructose environment and the end wine is very sweet with a highly concnetrated raisin-like character. This a very old one spending at least 15 years in solera.

🍇SWEET FRUIT AND GINNY GOODNESS. Victorian Shiraz fruit is steeped in high-proof gin for eight weeks before pressing. The colour remains a deep, rich 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
🍸DISTINCTLY MODERN AUSTRALIAN GIN. Olive Leaf Gin is our savoury gin, perfect for a Martini or Gin and Tonic. We make it using three types of cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil and olive leaf tea from the world-class groves of Victoria's Cobram Estate
🫒DELICIOUS, SAVOURY AND BRIGHT. Along with the cold-pressed olive oils and olive leaf, we landed on botanicals like rosemary and bay leaf that transport you to the Mediterranean, while native macadamia nuts and lemon myrtle make the gin distinctly modern Australian
🍸AROMATIC, RICH AND SPICY. Four Pillars Spiced Negroni Gin was the first ever gin created specifically to go in a Negroni cocktail. It is a highly aromatic, rich and (yes) spicy gin with great power and intensity.
🌶️EXOTIC SPICES. We use botanicals like Tasmanian pepperberry leaf, cinnamon, West African spice grains of paradise and Indonesian cubeb to up the ante. Plus there’s some fresh ginger in the botanical basket to help lift the spice
🍸A TRULY MODERN AUSTRALIAN GIN. We wanted to create a gin to represent our idea of contemporary Australia: classic, approachable, spiced to perfection and lifted with great citrus. Above all, dangerously delicious, and made to enjoy in the world’s best gin drinks, always kicking off with a perfect G&T
🍊DELICIOUS, SPICY AND AROMATIC. We crafted it to deliver the best of all worlds: a classically smooth gin that combines Asian botanicals with great Mediterranean citrus. It’s spicy but with great citrus from the whole fresh oranges and native lemon myrtle, a truly modern Australian gin.
🍸POWER AND INTENSITY. Four Pillars Navy Strength is a gin very much in the Four Pillars style, but with the flavour turned up slightly beyond 11. It is an intense but smooth gin, made for cocktails
🍋HIGH-TONED FRESHNESS. 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
🌶️ ASIAN INFLUENCE. 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). This gin is made for cocktails, but first try a G&T with lemon (not our usual orange).
🍃 CARBON NEUTRAL. Four Pillars is Australia’s first carbon-neutral distillery, runs on 100% renewable energy, and was recently awarded the IWSC’s inaugural Green Spirit Initiative Trophy as well as the World Gin Awards' Sustainable Distillery of the Year.
🍷 AGED IN SHERRY CASKS. Sherry Cask Gin is rich and layered with fruit and nut flavours. Our Sherry cask solera is made up of 42 casks, some from Spain and some from Australian Apera (fortified wine).
🍇 SUBTLY SWEET. Underpinned by pine oil notes, this gin finishes with a subtle sweetness from the tweak of Amontillado Sherry we add at bottling.
