With citrus, spice, and a touch of Turkish delight, the limited release Alfoat Pink Gin is designed to transport your mind to the Mediterranean.   

Four Pillars distiller Cameron Mackenzie said, “There’s no mistaking this is a Four Pillars Gin.

“It has intense aromas of citrus with both the orange and finger lime giving a bright, fresh character. The palate is a little different - pine forest juniper, light spice with a lingering Turkish delight character from the rose water.

“The light pink colour comes from the addition of carmine, the natural colour used in many liqueurs such as Campari.”

The bottle is also striking, with a label that captures the essence of an exotic European holiday; pink-tinged sunsets over the Turquoise Coast of Turkey. 

Afloat Pink Gin is available for RRP $85 through the Four Pillars website, distillery, and Sydney laboratory.
