Four Pillars Rare Dry Gin

Four Pillars Rare Dry Gin is the original and most celebrated expression from Australia’s award-winning distillery. Crafted with whole fresh oranges, native lemon myrtle, and nine carefully selected botanicals, it represents a truly modern Australian gin — classic, approachable, and dangerously delicious.

Tasting Notes & Experience

A vibrant citrus burst from whole oranges is lifted by juniper and balanced with the warmth of cardamom, cinnamon, and Tasmanian pepperberry leaf. Native lemon myrtle adds brightness and a fragrant lift, while star anise lends rich fruitcake depth. The palate is smooth and full-flavoured, finishing with a clean, spiced complexity that makes it endlessly versatile.
