Four Pillars Bloody Shiraz Gin 37.8%
Tasting Note
Tasted: Nov 2017
The nose is very junipery and fresh with hints of anise, coriander, cinnamon and pepper. The Shiraz character is pretty subtle and certainly more subtle than the 2016 release and adds just a touch of syrup coated blackcurrant.
The palate is full and rich with more of the syrup coated blackcurrant. The juniper is subtle but noticeable and the pepper, coriander, cinnamon and anise come through well. Lovely intensity and balance with a long, slightly bitter spice finish but balanced by the toasty Shiraz character.
Description
Each year, Yarra Valley whole berry Shiraz grapes are steeped in the gin for 8 weeks. The fruit is then pressed and blended with the Rare Dry Gin.
