We've had a thing for yuzu for a while now, and with three limited-edition trial runs under our belts, we felt it was time to make things a little more permanent. So here it is, a stand-alone, honed and perfected Fresh Yuzu Gin. A bright, aromatic and (yes) fresh dry gin made with locally-grown yuzu and inspired by our adventures making gin with Japanese friends.

Our flavour-bursting Fresh Yuzu Gin has earned gold medals across the globe.
At Four Pillars, we’ve always had a well-known love of bright flavours and the cornucopia of great Australian-grown citrus.
It started with oranges in Rare Dry Gin, finger limes in Navy Strength Gin and continued through blood orange, grapefruit, cumquat and bergamot – the list goes on. In fact, if you can name a citrus, chances are we’ve distilled it.
Recently, there’s been another citrus slowly edging its way into our hearts. It’s yellow and looks pretty ugly (it’s all in the eye of the beholder, of course) but it tastes and distills great. Yep, we’re talking about the mighty yuzu.
Native to China, Tibet and Japan, yuzu is a citrus fruit with amazing aromatics that are a mix of lemon, mandarin, cumquat and grapefruit.
We first dabbled with yuzu when we made Pure Kisumé Gin in 2017, then Changing Seasons Gin in 2019 and then fate played its part in early 2020, when what should literally land on our doorstep but some fresh, perfect yuzu grown up the road in the Ovens Valley. Clearly, yuzu was calling.
Later in 2020 we released our most distinctly yuzu-powered gin under the guise of the limited-edition Rarer Dry Gin.
So here we are. Three limited-edition yuzu gins later and we’re ready to launch the stand-alone and permanent Fresh Yuzu Gin.
The yuzu brings a mix of lemon, mandarin, cumquat and grapefruit aromatics – all bright and fresh citrus notes – while the addition of finger lime adds some deeper citrus character.
Learning from those adventures making gin with Japanese friends, we’ve used ginger, turmeric and sencha genmaicha, a Japanese green tea with roasted brown rice, for depth of flavour. A canvas of strong pine-needle juniper, and a bit of lemon myrtle adds a touch of lemon curd.
Our latest citrus obsession meets Japanese-inspired botanicals.
A mix of lemon, mandarin, lime and cumquat flavours, this citrus packs a real punch.
Fresh ginger provides the level of flavour lift required to match other botanicals. We like to use mature ginger for its juiciness and intensity.
A mixed tea blend made up of dark, strong green tea with roasted brown rice. It adds green, light, herbal and floral notes along with loads of texture and a very light toasty character.
We use the fresh root of turmeric. The fragrance is reminiscent of dill, carrot, cucumber and fresh soil. The result adds a lovely weight and an earthiness to the palate.
Without juniper, there is no gin. When distilled, it adds a medicinal flavour with notes of pine needles. Juniper is grown wild, and the berries are harvested by hand on mountain slopes.
We source coriander seeds locally for their intense aromatics. We use the dry seeds (not fresh leaves) and they produce amazing lemony citrus notes when crushed and distilled.
We use the root of the plant, which has a very earthy, mushroom or woody smell. Angelica adds to the soft texture of the final gin, along with a very, very subtle bitterness.
Lavender is used sparingly to lift the other aromatics, so it isn’t an obvious character in the final gin. Grown locally, though occasionally we have to source from France.
Lemon myrtle is a beautiful alternative to lemon peel when distilling. Its floral character mingles with the other spices without dominating any flavours, textures or aromas.
These explosive little native limes pack a huge flavour punch – intense, piercing, vibrant lime. They are quite simply amazing, adding a superb citrusy edge to our gin.
We use dried Australian apples for depth and texture. Dehydrating apples at the right time of the year means we get them at their peak flavour.
A fresh and fun take on some classic cocktails.
A long cocktail that's equal parts silky and delicate with a citrus punch.
