Four Pillars Rare Dry Gin, 70 cl

Product Information

Where Rare Dry Gin made with oranges is warm and well-rounded, and Rarest Dry Gin made with bergamot is herbaceous and bitter, our middle child – Rarer Dry Gin made with cumquat – is clean and tangy. You can really tell they’ve used the fresh fruit as you can almost taste the juice, but it’s perfectly balanced by the spices throughout. It's made using an almost identical recipe with the exception of one distinct ingredient, the citrus. The complex flavor profiles lend itself more readily to gin-forward drinks and cocktails in the spirit of the Martini.

While is uses a London Dry process, and is therefore classified as such, Four Pillars doesn’t have the classic flavour you’d expect from a classic London Dry and is more contemporary in nature. And the story of the brand all starts with a conversation between two wine industry veterans, Cameron Mackenzie and Stuart Gregor.Come along to a Lab Rats session for a super intimate gin drink and dining experience that'll see you dining on some of our latest mouth-watering experiments in food and drink.

Four Pillars Rare Dry Gin Review - From the Gin Shelf Four Pillars Rare Dry Gin Review - From the Gin Shelf

This four pullers rare gin is probably one of the worst fins I have ever consumed, I taste the gin before it is mixed with anything, I considered it rough, sorry but the gin manufacturers in Australia are looking for an income before scotch and we don’t compare to the home of scotch either. The green bergamot adds herbal, Earl Grey and bitter orange notes and creates a gin that heroes our bigger botanicals like green cardamom, cassia and Tasmanian pepperberry. Given Stuart and Cameron’s wine background, and indeed where the distillery’s located, an experimentation with grapes was, perhaps, inevitable.Along with bergamot Cam experimented with another rare citrus, cumquat, resulting in a second riff on our Rare Dry Gin. Each batch of gin needs to be made to the same high standard as the last, regardless of seasonality. 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. Prepare for a delicious gin drink on arrival, a flight of gins to taste and some Made From Gin snacks.

I found the liquorice flavour became even stronger, the higher the ratio of tonic to gin, so if that’s not your ‘thing’, keep the tonic to gin ratio on the lower side. Those who prefer a more juniper-forward offering or who aren’t big on citrus/spice forward contemporary gins are advised to look elsewhere. The data collected including the number visitors, the source where they have come from, and the pages viisted in an anonymous form. Where our Rare Dry Gin is made with fresh organic oranges, Rarest Dry Gin is made with fresh green bergamot, the rarest of all citruses we use.Indeed, for my palate, this is definitely one where less tonic is more, somewhere in the region of one and a half/two parts tonic to one part gin being my ideal sweet spot. Further, Four Pillars Rare Dry Gin establishes itself as quintessentially Australian with its use of some local ingredients.
