Four Pillars Bloody Shiraz Gin
From: Four Pillars
Each year Four Pillars take local Shiraz fruit, steep the whole berries in high-proof gin for eight weeks before pressing. The colour remains a deep, rich, reddish purple. Aromatically it shows fresh pine needles, citrus and spice, and distinct peppery, dense raspberry notes.
The palate is lovely and sweet with a long juniper and spice character on the finish.
The marriage of Rare Dry Gin botanicals with the most delicious Shiraz fruit on the planet. No added sugar. None. Ever.
