Four Pillars Rare Dry Gin

Annika Svensson — Pepperberry Fatigue

7/10

The Tasmanian pepperberry is fascinating at first but the lingering numbness at 41.8% ABV becomes tiring over a full glass. The orange and star anise are lovely but the pepperberry dominates the experience. Best in small doses.

Idris Ibrahim — Southern Hemisphere Masterpiece

10/10

Four Pillars Rare Dry is a gin of extraordinary originality. Whole fresh oranges, numbing Tasmanian pepperberry, sweet star anise, and assertive juniper at 41.8% ABV. The balanced orange-juniper persistence and lingering pepperberry numbness on the finish are unforgettable. Australia's finest gin.

Zara Al-Hassan — Whole Orange Vibrancy

8/10

Using whole fresh oranges rather than just peel gives Four Pillars an incredibly vivid, juicy orange character. The assertive mid-palate juniper at 41.8% provides structure and the star anise contributes sweet spice.
