Four Pillars Gin Distillery |
Australia's Most Awarded Craft Gin Distillery.
Distillery specializing in gin with a modern tasting room offering cocktails & snacks.
We established Four Pillars with a focus on gin. But great gin doesn't just make itself. We recognised that our real focus would need to be on the craft of distilling.
If we could elevate this area of expertise in Australia, and bring a modern Australian sensibility to the process, then maybe we could make a gin worth shouting about.
Two years later we have five different gins, multiple gold medals at international spirits competitions and now a brand new distillery operation and tasting bar.
But the story starts back in 2013 we embarked on a tour of the US West Coast, from Portland down to San Francisco, identifying distilling techniques and equipment we admired. What stood out above all to us was that all the gins we loved on our trip were made in a Carl still.
18 months later, we took delivery of our own custom-built still from Carl of Germany, and we called her Wilma (after Cameron's beautiful but explosively tempered late mother). And Wilma turned out to be amazing, drawing extraordinary botanical flavour from a combination of rare, native and traditional botanicals.
She delivers an unbelievable purity of spirit (the gin comes out of Wilma at 93.5% ABV) despite our unique approach of distilling our benchmark Rare Dry Gin with fresh, juicy biodynamic and highly-aromatic oranges. And she has now been joined by her larger sister Jude, and significantly smaller sister Eileen - both also made by Carl.
From Rare Dry Gin to Barrel Aged Gin to Navy Strength Gin to Orange Marmalade (made with the oranges that make the gin) everything we do is designed to elevate the craft of distilling in Australia.
We hope you agree we're on the right path. The judges at a number of prestigious international competitions must think so, as we've been awarded a Double Gold, Gold or Master status for all our mainstay gins in the past two years.
VISIT OUR DISTILLERY
Our distillery is located in Healesville, in Victoria's Yarra Valley.

Phone: 1800 FPG GIN (1800 374 446)
Walk-in tastings are available at $10 per person until 5.15pm every day (refundable with purchase of any 700mL or 500mL bottle of gin).
All large groups (9 people and over) should contact the distillery before planning your visit.
We'd love to be more spontaneous, but our limited capacity means we will need to know you're coming and book you in for a timed session.
On the upside, we will do our best to offer a private tasting or mini-masterclass in our distillery production area or the legendary 'Eileen's Loft' which overlooks all the distilling action. Find out more here.
How to book? Just call the distillery on 1800 FPG GIN (1800 374 446).
