Four Pillars 2021 Christmas Gin

To make this Four Pillars 2021 Christmas Gin, Cam first distills some Christmas puddings (made to his mother Wilma’s 1968 recipe) with juniper, cinnamon, star anise, coriander and angelica over the top. The gin is then aged in a couple of 125-year-old ex-William Grant scotch whisky barrels that had previously stored Rutherglen Muscat for 80 years. Cam then blends this with the Christmas Pudding gin, and to finish he adds a slight tweak of Rutherglen Classic Muscat to round out the palate. He also adds a touch of Four Pillars muscat that has been sitting in barrels which previously aged Pedro Ximenez. So we get even more depth, richness and complexity.

For the 2o21 edition, we have the Melbourne artist Stephen Baker’s artwork ‘Basking in the Sun’ adorning our label, channelling all that is great about a hot Aussie Christmas. More than ever, it smells like gin and tastes like Christmas. Sip the Four Pillars 2021 Christmas Gin neat – it’s dangerously drinkable, so one 70cl bottle may not go far on Christmas Day. Or try it in some great cocktails like this Christmas Cobbler.
