Along with bergamot Cam experimented with another rare citrus, cumquat, resulting in a second riff on our Rare Dry Gin. litres are then added to the pot of Wilma, along with the nine dry botanicals for maceration. The tenth and final botanical is orange, and quite unusually, these are distilled in their whole form, through vapour infusion. The vapours from the pot rise to the botanical basket above where the oranges are placed, steaming them to release their delightful flavour.

Made with a light style tonic, this Rarest Dry G&T showcases the big botanicals in this gin. INGREDIENTSWhat defines craft gin? It’s a question that gets asked a lot. Is craft gin even a ‘thing’?

The rest of the botanicals includes several contemporary style gin standbys, like cardamom and lavender. All are distilled on a base of local grain spirit and diluted with local Yarra Valley water.

Four Pillars is a cool, contemporary gin brand. They embody a lot of what I love about the gin revival – passion, great storytelling, innovation and provenance. It all combines to make Four Pillars one of Australia’s most talked about gins.To taste, green bergamot is a hybrid of lemon and bitter orange. How’s that not awesome? So out with the oranges and in with the bergamot. Four Pillars Rare Dry Gin uses 10 botanicals. These are Tasmanian pepperberry, lemon myrtle (both in dry leave form), cassia, star anise, cardamom, coriander seeds, juniper berries, lavender, angelica root and Australian organic whole oranges. While a great brand story is important, it absolutely must deliver on flavour. And it’s fair to say Four Pillars Rare Dry Gin is more than up to the task. Neat

Further, Four Pillars Rare Dry Gin establishes itself as quintessentially Australian with its use of some local ingredients. Tasmanian Pepperberry (also appears in Botanic Australis and Never Never’s Southern Strength) adds a warmth and spice. Again, lemon myrtle makes an appearance as a stand in for traditional lemon. Learning about Four Pillars’ distillation process it’s clear that they take great pride in how their gin is made. For the base, they source wheat spirit from New South Wales. This is then diluted to 30% ABV before distillation commences. I just tried it in a gin and tonic (Fever Tree Premium Indian). I always cut my G&T’s with soda (1/2 Tonic, 1/2 soda) so as to cut down the sugar intake. I think this gin makes a Very good G&T with a good quality tonic. The tonic does well to mitigate that anise/licorice flavor. I will try it in a Negroni next.

Tasting Notes

It took Four Pillars 18 months of experimenting with their recipe before deciding on the botanicals which make up their gin. They’re a mix of native ingredients, and those from Asia and further afield. Sourcing organic oranges from various Australian producers throughout the year, they vary the volume in each batch throughout the season, due to the differences in the oils from different varieties. The types with more pith result in cutting the distillation shorter than with other batches, as the tails has a stronger pith-character than normal. Distillery we’ve got the perfect gin for every drink. We love gin drinks that highlight their ingredients, Because of the processes involved— and the solubility of certain organic molecules in water and ethanol respectively— it’s very hard to use the same botanicals and have the same flavor when making a N/A product.
