Four Pillars Distillery
It all started back in 2013 with three mates and one extraordinary copper still. We called her Wilma (after Cameron’s beautiful late mother), and she has since been joined by Jude, Eileen, Beth and Coral. 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, making Australia’s favourite gin officially the world’s best.
