Australian Christmas Gin 2024

To make this special annual release, we distill all the ingredients needed to make a perfect Christmas pud, then age the liquid for a year in 100-year-old Muscat barrels. The resulting gin has aromatics of classic juniper and a hint of cinnamon, backed up with a rich palate and a hint of sweetness from the Muscat. Sip it neat, mix it with ginger ale or beer, or try it in some great cocktails.

For a limited time only, we're giving away a FREE Christmas Ham Glaze when you buy two bottles. Check out our Christmas Gin Duo bundle and grab one for you and one for a friend (with a cheeky discount). Promo applies automatically in cart.

This gin is a tribute to four things our Co-founder, Cameron Mackenzie loves: Australia, Christmas, gin and his late mum, Wilma.

Each year Wilma would use the 1968 Australian Women’s Weekly recipe to make her puds on Victoria Derby Day, while the rest of the family listened to the races. To this day, one of Cam’s great childhood memories is how his house would smell like Christmas over Cup Weekend.

I found the recipe and thought it would be fun to start doing it with my girls every year. But even as I was buying all the ingredients at the shops (mixed peel, oranges, dried fruit) I just kept thinking how well it would all distill. And with juniper having such a great pine needle character to begin with, a Christmas gin just started to make sense really quickly.” – Cameron Mackenzie, Four Pillars Co-founder

In keeping this beloved tradition alive, every year we distill all the ingredients from Wilma's original pudding recipe in the copper still we named after her. We then age the resulting gin in Rutherglen Muscat barrels for a year. To finish, we add a slight tweak of Rutherglen Classic Muscat to round out the palate with a touch of richness.

With juniper-led Christmas tree notes and plum pudding character, it smells like gin and tastes like Christmas.

For our ninth annual Australian Christmas Gin art label, we asked Australian crochet artist, Trevor Smith to hand craft ten of his (and our) favourite Christmas table things. Each creation is whimsical, charming and beautifully detailed. We couldn’t fit them all on the bottle, so we chose a pudding, a pavlova, a ham and a few glasses of Christmas Gin Punch.

We distill classic Christmas pudding ingredients like sultanas, nutmeg, citrus peel and currants, along with amped up juniper, cassia and star anise.
