GIN
FOUR PILLARS AUSTRALIA, VICTORIA We established Four Pillars with a focus on gin. But great gin doesn’t just make itself. We recognized that our real focus would need to be on the craft of distilling. FROM SMALL CRAFT DISTILLERY TO BEING NAMED WORLD’S LEADING GIN PRODUCER TWO YEARS IN A ROW. THIS IS A CRAZY RIDE WE’RE ON! Four Pillars Bloody Shiraz 75.6PF / 750ML One day our distiller Cam thought, what would happen if you combined Four Pillars Gin with some of the best Shiraz grapes in Australia? Bloody Shiraz Gin, that’s what! Aromatically it shows fresh pine needles, citrus and spice, and distinct peppery, dense raspberry notes. The palate is lovely and sweet with a long juniper and spice character on the finish. Four Pillars Fresh Yuzu 83.6PF / 750ML We’ve had a thing for yuzu for a while now, and with three limited-edition trial runs under our belts, we’re ready to launch the newest member of our core range: a stand alone, honed, and perfected Fresh Yuzu Gin. A bright, aromatic and (yes) fresh dry gin made with locally grown yuzu and inspired by our adventures making gin with Japanese friends. 83.6PF Four Pillars Navy Strength 117.6PF / 750ML We first released this luscious gin in 2014, after experimenting with some exclusive batches of a high-proof gin for the Gin Palace. We decided to add fresh ‘Judy’s Everbearing’ native finger limes in the botanical basket, with some fresh ginger instead of organic oranges, giving our Navy Strength Gin its signature power and intensity. The finger limes highlight the Asian coriander and star anise and are complemented by the fresh ginger. Then turmeric adds weight to the palate and a fresh, earthy quality, not unlike dill. The resulting gin has lifted aromatics of lime curd, pine needles, and fragrant spices with a vanilla character which pulls it all together. The palate is intense—sweet and juicy—but still very clean. Master Status 4x Global Gin Masters (‘15, ‘16, ‘17, ‘18) Four Pillars Olive Leaf 87.6PF / 750ML Made with virgin olive oil, olive leaves and whole fresh lemons, this is a textural, bright, savory gin, perfect in a killer Martini. Four Pillars Rare Dry Gin 83.6PF / 750ML Four Pillars Rare Dry Gin is crafted to deliver the best of all worlds: a perfect, classic gin and something that would fascinate and delight even the most hardened gin fanatic. It’s spicy but with great citrus, a truly modern Australian gin. Double Gold NY World Wine & Spirits Competition ‘17
HERB GARDEN SCOTLAND, EDINBURGH, Our Herb Garden Gins are lovingly crafted in the outskirts of Edinburgh, Scotland using 100% natural ingredients. There are no added sugars, artificial colorings, flavorings, or additives… just nature distilled. The botanicals are hand-harvested and dried naturally to ensure the highest quality. Herb Garden Damask Rose & Juniper Gin 86PF / 750ML A lovely golden gin with aromas of rose and hints of juniper. It tastes like Turkish Delight with some light citrus and candied cherry. It’s a gorgeous, delicate gin that is as refreshing as it is beautiful. Herb Garden Lemon Verbena & Juniper Gin 86PF / 750ML A crystal-clear gin with aromas of citrus, lemon sherbet, and hints of herbs. Its zesty flavors are intermingled with juniper. Herb Pink Elderflower & Jasmine & Juniper Gin 86PF / 750ML A delightful light pink gin with aromas of orange and pink grapefruit. On the palate it’s quite exotic with citrus and sweet orange flavors. All the sweetness is coming from the natural residual sugar of the plants. LEOPOLD BROS. DENVER, COLORADO Leopold Bros. relocated operations from Michigan to their home state of Colorado to focus solely on distilling. They included systems to create a zero-waste facility by recycling water, composting, and other methods. Plus, space to accommodate all their fermenters and stills. The site is home to Colorado’s first distillery malting floor and kiln, as well as a dunnage-style barrel-house, a tasting room, and education center. The distillery as it stands today opened in 2014. Leopold Bros. American Small-Batch Gin 80PF / 750ML Small batch distilled by brothers Scott & Todd Leopold. It is infused with more citrus and less juniper than typical gins. Each handcrafted batch is unique, yielding only fifty cases of a complex yet subtle spirit. Gentler, softer, suppler, and more delicate than most gin... it’s beautiful, fresh, gracefully perfumed... and well worth a try. “1 Best American Gin” Wall Street Journal A high-octane, full-throttle gin is loaded with herbaceous character and tons of bitter citrus peel. It doesn’t feel over-proofed, but in total balance. This is not the standard Leopold formula with more alcohol. It’s an entirely new formula for people looking to make serious cocktails. Try it and taste the wonderfully concentrated flavor. “Top 10 Spirits” Good Food Awards, 2013 92pts Beverage Testing Institute Leopold Bros. Summer Gin (Seasonal) 94PF / 750ML This bright, citrus-forward, vibrant gin truly captures the summer season. By individually distilling the juniper berries, coriander, blood orange, lemon myrtle leaf, and Helichrysum angustifolium (known as ‘Immortal Flower’), we are able to highlight the truest expression of each ingredient, before blending it into the perfect spirit. Highly Recommended Beverage Testing Institute Leopold Bros. “Navy Strength” American Gin 114PF / 750ML
