The 2022 release of Yarra Valley distillery Four Pillars’ Christmas gin, which is distilled with pudding and barrel aged.
Released on Victorian Derby Day each year, it is a homage to distiller Cam Mackenzie’s late mother Wilma. Each year she would make her pudding on Derby Day, so Cam distills it and matures the gin in ex-muscat casks before adding a dash of muscat before bottling.
On allocation and strictly limited, as always.
Official tasting notes:
“The gin has aromatics of classic juniper and a hint of cinnamon, backed up with a rich palate and a hint of sweetness from the Muscat. Sip it neat, mix it with ginger ale or beer, or try it in some great cocktails.”
