Tasting Notes & Experience

Crystal clear and brilliantly bright, this expressive gin opens with an exhilarating burst of fresh yuzu, delivering notes of mandarin, finger lime, grapefruit, and lemon zest. The palate is crisp yet wonderfully oily, combining vibrant citrus layers with clean piney juniper and subtle coriander spice.

Craftsmanship & Story

Founded in 2013 by Cameron Mackenzie, Stuart Gregor, and Matt Jones, Four Pillars has become one of the most influential names in modern gin. Rather than replicate traditional London Dry styles, the distillery created a distinctly Australian approach centred on fresh whole citrus, native botanicals, and innovative distillation techniques. Fresh Yuzu Gin represents years of experimentation, inspired by collaborations with Japanese distillers and fuelled by a passion for exceptional citrus. Distilled in custom Carl copper pot stills, the spirit captures the pure, vibrant oils of fresh yuzu grown in Victoria’s Ovens Valley.

Special Features

The result is a modern gin that feels both innovative and effortlessly refreshing.
