FROM SMALL CRAFT DISTILLERY TO BEING NAMED WORLD’S LEADING GIN PRODUCER THREE TIMES OVER. THIS IS A CRAZY RIDE WE’RE ON!

It all started back in 2013 with three mates, Stu, Cam and Matt, and one extraordinary copper still. Six years later, in 2019, Four Pillars Gin was named the world’s leading gin producer by the IWSC in London. We won again in 2020 and a third time in 2023, making us the first-ever gin maker to claim the title of World’s Best three times.

Our journey to becoming an award-winning gin distillery began when we took delivery of our first custom-built still made by CARL of Germany. We called her Wilma (after Cam’s beautiful late mother), and she has since been joined by Jude, Eileen, Beth, Coral and Linda – all named after the mums of the Four Pillars founders or longstanding Four Pillars employees.

In 2015 we made our home in Healesville, Yarra Valley in what was once a timber yard. Today, much expanded, we’ve created our own gin paradise and we’re doing our best to make and showcase the very best of Australian gin to the world.

In 2020 we opened a Gin Laboratory in Sydney's Surry Hills, home to a working copper still and a world-class cocktail bar. A delicious playground for Sydney’s gin lovers and a new bucket list destination for gin fanatics around the world.

In 2022 we became Australia’s first certified carbon neutral gin distillery, and later in the year our sustainability efforts were recognised on a global scale with the IWSC awarding us the inaugural Green Spirits Initiative trophy.

We are modern Australian makers. We make the world’s most delicious and awarded range of craft gins.

Making gin anywhere would be exciting. But we don’t make gin anywhere. We make it here. In Australia. The most delicious, diverse and creative place on earth. And that’s why we get to combine intense creativity around gin with a huge passion for hospitality and gin-fuelled fun.

We are lucky enough to have access to local native botanicals like lemon myrtle and Tassie pepper. And our signature is the use of whole fresh citrus in every gin.
