Last night was the Dutch launch of Australian artisan gin FOUR PILLARS, and I was lucky enough to be invited.
It was held at the home of Dutch investors Kate and Joost close to Vondel Park. It was a relaxed tasting, sampling it neat, with 1724 tonic, and as beautiful florescent orange Negronis with a twist of blood orange peel. The makers behind this perfectly crafted gin are trained wine makers and they have used these skills to create this "perfect, classic" gin. It is described as a spicy yet citrus truly Australian gin, made with cardamon, cinnamon, star anise, Tasmanian pepper berry and lemon myrtle. It was launched late 2013 and has already been awarded the double gold medal at the World Spirits Competition in San Francisco this year.
At Four Pillars they elevate the craft of distilling and celebrate the craft of making gin. Everything they make is crafted on four pillars - STILL / WATER / BOTANICALS / LOVE.
Still: Their magnificent copper pot still called Wilma, made by Carl in Germany
Water: "The best in the world, from our home in the Yarra Valley"
Botanicals: Some native to Australia, some sourced from around the world.
Love: A commitment to craft and attention to detail every step of the way
Currently available at some of the best independent retailers and Dan Murphy's in Australia, and soon to be stocked in a boutique liquor store here in Amsterdam Oud-West (details coming soon)...
