Four Pillars Spiced Negroni Gin / 700mL
Originally the result of a conversation between Cameron (Four Pillar's distiller) and Jason (then Manager of Sydney bars including The Rook and one of the World's Top Ten Bartenders) back in 2014 - they wanted to create a gin specifically for the Negroni.
Something to cut through the Campari and vermouth.
As the Negroni has always been a favourite at Four Pillars, Cameron jumped at the chance to make the first collaboration in the Four Pillar's Bartender Series as a tribute to the very definition of a perfectly balanced cocktail.
Four Pillars Spiced Negroni Gin is a highly aromatic, rich and spicy gin with great power and intensity.
First, they took their base botanicals and upped the amount of Tasmanian pepperberry leaf and cinnamon. Then they added an exotic West African spice called Grains of Paradise. This is one of the most unusual spices in the world, with clove and sichuan characters. But although very powerful, the spice tends to glow rather than become hot.
Then they decided to use beautiful organic blood oranges in the botanical basket, as well as some ginger. These wonderfully fragrant fresh botanicals help lift the spice to another level.
Finally, the Four Pillars crew opened up the plates to add weight and intensity to the gin.
