Four Pillars Spiced Negroni Gin is a robust and particularly spicy gin from Australia, which was developed in 2014 with a clear aim: to create a gin that could hold its own against the intense flavours of bitters and vermouth, particularly in a Negroni cocktail. The idea arose during a discussion between Four Pillars distiller Cameron Mackenzie and the renowned bartender Jason Williams. The recipe utilises an extensive selection of botanicals, including juniper, coriander, green cardamom, cassia, star anise, lavender, angelica, Tasmanian pepperberry, lemon myrtle, orange and ginger. Added to these are the particularly distinctive spices ‘grains of paradise’ from West Africa and Indonesian cubeb pepper, which provide additional intensity and spice.

During distillation, the focus is specifically on achieving a full-bodied and aromatically concentrated style, ensuring that the Spiced Negroni Gin remains distinctly present even in robust cocktails. Fresh ginger in the botanical basket further highlights the spice components, whilst the special settings of the still lend the gin greater body and structure. At 43.8% in the 0.7-litre bottle, this bottling is one of the most characterful variants of Four Pillars Gin from Healesville in Australia’s Yarra Valley.
