Four Pillars Rare Dry Gin (75cl, 41.8%)

Four Pillars Rare Dry Gin is the flagship gin from Four Pillars, a small distillery in Victoria's Yarra Valley, Australia. It is a modern Australian dry gin built on juniper, with ten botanicals drawn from classic, native Australian and Asian sources. The botanicals include juniper, lavender, angelica, lemon myrtle, Tasmanian pepperberry leaf, cardamom, star anise, coriander, cinnamon and whole fresh Australian oranges. Each bottle is batch distilled in small runs and numbered by batch, still and bottle. Bright orange zest and lemon myrtle sit over piney juniper on the nose. The palate is creamy and spicy, with citrus, cardamom, cinnamon and gentle peppery warmth, finishing dry and zesty.
