Four Pillars Bloody Shiraz Gin: A Bold Australian Adventure (For Your Tastebuds)

Looking for a gin that shatters expectations? Look no further than Four Pillars Bloody Shiraz Gin, a multi-award-winning Australian spirit that's as audacious as it is delicious. This isn't your average gin – it's a vibrant marriage of classic botanicals and juicy Shiraz grapes, resulting in a complex and captivating flavour profile.

A Liquid Masterpiece: Unpacking the Flavour

Four Pillars Bloody Shiraz Gin boasts a stunning deep purple hue, hinting at the rich depths of flavour within. On the nose, a wave of ripe berries unfolds, reminiscent of plump plums and juicy blackberries. These fruity notes are intertwined with the unmistakable juniper character that defines gin, creating a harmonious balance. Subtle hints of spice emerge, like a whisper of cinnamon and a touch of white pepper, adding a touch of intrigue.

The first sip is a revelation. The sweetness of the Shiraz grapes comes to the fore, offering a delightful contrast to the juniper's dryness. The fruit flavours dance on the palate, offering a symphony of blackberry, blueberry, and a touch of strawberry. Yet, this sweetness is never cloying, as it's beautifully balanced by the earthy undertones of the gin botanicals and a lingering hint of peppery spice. The finish is smooth and elegant, with the juniper gently re-emerging alongside a touch of floral character.

Beyond the Glass: Serving Suggestions for Every Occasion

Four Pillars Bloody Shiraz Gin's versatility makes it a true playground for cocktail enthusiasts. Here are a few suggestions to get you started:

• The Classic G&T with a Twist:  For a taste of the unexpected, ditch the standard tonic and opt for a grapefruit tonic instead. The grapefruit's citrusy bite beautifully complements the gin's sweetness and fruit notes, creating a refreshingly vibrant drink. Garnish with a slice of grapefruit and a sprig of rosemary for an extra touch of sophistication.
• A Touch of Fizz: The Shiraz Spritz: This simple yet stunning cocktail showcases the gin's vibrancy. Fill a highball glass with ice, add 50ml of Four Pillars Bloody Shiraz Gin, top with chilled prosecco, and finish with a generous squeeze of fresh lime. The result is a light, bubbly drink perfect for summer soirées.
• For the Cocktail Connoisseur: The Negroni Shiraz Style:  Put a unique spin on this classic Italian cocktail. Combine 30ml of Four Pillars Bloody Shiraz Gin, 30ml Campari, and 30ml sweet vermouth in a mixing glass filled with ice. Stir well and strain into a chilled coupe glass. Garnish with an orange peel for a touch of citrusy flair.
