Four Pillars Gin

The story of Four Pillars Gin is one of a meteoric rise from a small craft distillery to being recognised as one of the world’s leading gin producers two years in a row in 2019 and 2020. 

The genesis of Four Pillars Gin in 2013 came about from three mates, Cameron Mackenzie, Stuart Gregor and Matt Jones, and an extraordinary copper still which they lovingly called ‘Wilma’ after Cameron’s late mother. They couldn’t think of anything more natural than to utilise local native botanicals and their signature use of whole fresh citrus in making their modern Australian gin.

 As they were making their gin, they noticed they were left with kilos of gin-steamed organic oranges that had been imparted with the unique botanicals from the gin production process. They got their thinking caps on, and in collaboration with another Yarra Valley maker, A Bit of Jam & Pickle, their “Made from Gin” range was born with their original Orange Marmalade.

 Fast forward to now, their family of cooper stills now include ‘Jude’, ‘Eileen’, ‘Beth’ and ‘Coral’ and they have further expanded their “Made from Gin” range to give the by-products of their gin making process a second life in the form of chocolates, puddings and infused salts made in collaboration with top makers in their field from around Australia.
