View All (7)The gentle star anise sweetness adds a lovely spice note beneath the fresh orange and lemon myrtle. At 41.8% the Tasmanian pepperberry tingle is persistent on the finish. Four Pillars know what they're doing.
19 March 2026Using whole fresh oranges rather than dried peel transforms this gin. The citrus is juicy, bright, and genuinely fruit-like. The lemon myrtle intensifies the citrus, and at 41.8% ABV the juniper backbone is assertive.
27 February 2026Four Pillars have put the Yarra Valley on the gin map. The juicy orange, intense lemon myrtle, and tingling pepperberry at 41.8% create a gin that's unmistakably Australian. Really impressive craftsmanship.
