I just tried it in a gin and tonic (Fever Tree Premium Indian). I always cut my G&T’s with soda (1/2 Tonic, 1/2 soda) so as to cut down the sugar intake. I think this gin makes a Very good G&T with a good quality tonic. The tonic does well to mitigate that anise/licorice flavor. I will try it in a Negroni next.

As a gin and tonic, Four Pillars is much heavier on the citrus of the orange. You can really tell they’ve used the fresh fruit as you can almost taste the juice, but it’s perfectly balanced by the spices throughout. Those who prefer a more juniper-forward offering or who aren’t big on citrus/spice forward contemporary gins are advised to look elsewhere. Over seven hours, the liquid condenses and recondenses through the pot, basket and seven plates on the column still. These remain closed throughout to further purify the spirit, acting as a “mini-distillation” through each plate. This helps to make the gin super-smooth and comes out at an impressive 93.5% ABV. It’s then diluted down to 41.8% ABV and rested for a couple of weeks before bottling. Whole oranges Fans of contemporary style gins who can forgive the paltry presence of juniper here will find a lot to like. Beautifully made with a lot of bright, clear botanical character. The evolution on the palate is clear and gradual. Four Pillars Distillery have made an ideal sipping gin.Because of the processes involved— and the solubility of certain organic molecules in water and ethanol respectively— it’s very hard to use the same botanicals and have the same flavor when making a N/A product. As a result of what in my view is a cynical marketing exercise by Four Pillars Gin I will never buy any of your products and will make sure that everyone I know is aware of the nature of this product so that they won’t be tempted ‘to get on the Bandwagon’.

Indeed, for my palate, this is definitely one where less tonic is more, somewhere in the region of one and a half/two parts tonic to one part gin being my ideal sweet spot. Too much and the liquorice became too dominant. Indeed, the distillery themselves suggest 2:1 tonic to gin. Distillery we’ve got the perfect gin for every drink.
