FOUR PILLARS GIN
On 28 November 2019 we were awarded International Gin Producer of the Year at the International Wine & Spirits Competition (IWSC) in London.
When we started making test batches of gin back in 2012 we never in our maddest, wildest dreams thought this kind of international accolade could come so quickly. So thank you to every single person who helped us get here.
Four Pillars Gin is the first Australian distillery to win the award, and the IWSC is the world’s largest and most prestigious international competition for spirits, with more than 3000 entries worldwide.
The fact that this award is not for a single one of our gins but for the whole of our gin business and for what we’ve done to bring modern Australian craft, creativity, and great fun to the global gin category, makes it so incredibly special.
But it gets better... The previous two winners of this award are Hernö from Sweden in 2017 and Kyoto Distillery in Japan last year, so we couldn’t be in better company. They are two of the greatest distilleries and two of our best mates in the world of gin.
The award for International Gin Producer of the Year capped off a pretty epic 2019 for Four Pillars Gin, with top medals for our gins across the range, and becoming the first ever local distillery to be awarded Liquor Brand of the Year at the Australian Liquor Industry Awards.
