Four Pillars Rare Dry Gin is a modern Australian classic that skillfully blends traditional European distilling techniques with vibrant, native botanicals from the Yarra Valley. This premium gin is celebrated for its bright, balanced profile and exceptional versatility, making it a standout choice for both simple and sophisticated cocktails.
At 41.8% ABV, Rare Dry Gin features a juniper-forward base complemented by coriander and angelica, honoring the London Dry style while introducing uniquely Australian flavors. Whole fresh oranges, lemon myrtle, Tasmanian pepperberry, and native macadamia nuts enrich the spirit with luscious citrus warmth and a subtle spicy complexity, creating a multi-layered tasting experience that is both refreshing and refined.
The nose is inviting, bursting with fresh orange zest, resinous pine, and delicate floral notes. On the palate, it delivers a juicy, citrus-driven character with clean, confident juniper presence. Native botanicals add depth through hints of spice and earthiness, culminating in a long, dry finish that leaves a gentle warming sensation.
Perfectly suited for a crisp Gin and Tonic, pair it with a quality Indian tonic and garnish with an orange slice to highlight its citrus core. It also excels in classic cocktails such as the Martini, where its bright and expressive nature shines, and the Negroni, where it balances Campari’s bitterness with fresh, lively notes. Whether crafted by expert bartenders or home mixologists, this gin adapts effortlessly to a range of styles and occasions.
Rare Dry Gin has earned numerous accolades, including Gold at the 2024 Global Gin Masters, Gin of the Year 2023 by The Whisky Exchange, and multiple gold medals from the Hong Kong IWSC, San Francisco WSC, and London IWSC. These awards underscore its quality and the meticulous craftsmanship behind every bottle.
This flagship expression perfectly captures Four Pillars’ commitment to innovation, quality, and balance. Every botanical is carefully selected and thoughtfully integrated, ensuring nothing is included without purpose. Whether you are new to craft gin or a seasoned enthusiast, Rare Dry Gin is a refined, contemporary spirit that celebrates the fundamentals of great gin-making.
