Maker:
Four Pillars Gin was born from the vision of three passionate creators—Cameron Mackenzie, Matt Jones, and Stuart Gregor—who wanted to bring Australian ingenuity and exceptional craftsmanship to the world of gin. Cameron, the head distiller, leads the creative process with a relentless pursuit of balance and flavour. His expertise, combined with a deep respect for the gin-making tradition, has driven Four Pillars from a small distillery in the Yarra Valley to an internationally acclaimed gin producer. At the heart of it all are their six copper stills—Wilma, Jude, Eileen, Beth, Coral, and Linda—handcrafted by CARL in Germany and named after the mothers of founders and longtime employees. Each still is instrumental in crafting their unique range of gins, infused with botanicals that celebrate the vibrant flavours of Australia. Together, the team combines modern techniques with a passion for innovation, creating some of the most awarded gins in the world.
Philosophy:
Four Pillars’ philosophy is simple: to make the world’s best gin while celebrating creativity, craftsmanship, and the natural beauty of Australia. They believe in pushing the boundaries of traditional gin-making by embracing native botanicals like lemon myrtle and Tasmanian pepperberry, while using whole fresh citrus in every gin for a signature flavour that sets them apart. Sustainability is also at the core of their operations—from solar-powered distilleries to repurposing botanicals into gin-infused marmalade, nothing goes to waste. Four Pillars is dedicated to making gin that not only tastes incredible but also tells the story of the land and people who make it. By blending innovation with a deep love of hospitality, Four Pillars strives to create a gin experience that’s as fun and vibrant as it is sophisticated. Whether it's a classic G&T or a bold Negroni, Four Pillars is all about bringing people together over exceptional gin.
