Four Pillars has announced its latest limited-edition release just in time for Mother’s Day, with the launch of Three Peach Gin – inspired by refreshing brunch beverages like the Bellini cocktail.
To make Three Peach, the gin is distilled across the two original Four Pillars stills. Dry botanicals are added into the pot, including juniper, bourbon vanilla pods, roasted almonds, roasted wattle seed, strawberry gum, and the first of the three peaches – native quandong.
Fresh botanicals including apples, finger limes, and peaches are added, which bring a brightness and freshness to balance out the dry botanicals. To bring through that peachy bellini flavour and add a hint of colour, a yellow and white peach macerate is added.
Four Pillars head of distilling, Sarah Prowse, said the final liquid is a delicate, layered gin that balances fresh peach, zesty green apples and finger lime citrus with the warming spices from the dry botanicals and the aromas from the strawberry gum.
“There are aromas of white stone fruit and white chocolate with hints of citrus and green apple, and on the palate there is a soft rounded sweetness with a crisp finish,” said Prowse.
“We made it to a lower ABV – 37.8% (the same as our Bloody Shiraz Gin), which suits some of the more delicate botanicals and also happens to be pretty perfect for a brunch tipple!”
Four Pillars Three Peach Gin will be available to the Four Pillars email database from 23 April, and to the wider public from 28 April online at fourpillarsgin.com, the Gin Shop at the Four Pillars Healesville Distillery, Global Travel Retail and broader indie retail, for RRP $82.00.
