Established in 2013, Four Pillars Gin is now, without a doubt, the top local gin in Australia, and probably the world’s most awarded gin distillery over the past two years. The Four Pillars Distillery, home of Four Pillars Gin, is located in Healesville, Yarra Valley, about an hour’s drive from Melbourne city centre. Four Pillars Spiced Negroni Gin was the first ever gin created specifically to go in a Negroni cocktail. It is a highly aromatic, rich and (yes) spicy gin with great power and intensity. The Four Pillars team use botanicals like Tasmanian pepperberry leaf, cinnamon and the West African spice, Grains of Paradise – a spicy pepper with clove and Sichuan characters. Plus there’s some organic blood oranges and fresh ginger in the botanical basket to lift the spice to another level.
