Four Pillars Olive Leaf Gin 700ml
Most gins go floral and citrusy. This one goes savoury, and it is genuinely a different mood. Picture a Martini with a soft hit of green olive, fresh rosemary and a whisper of salt, all riding on a clean juniper base. Crystal clear in the glass, smooth as anything, a little bit fancy without trying too hard. If you love a Dirty Martini or you want to make people at your table go "wait, what IS that," grab this one.
Nose first: fresh olive, rosemary and bay leaf, with a cool minty lift and a bright squeeze of lemon myrtle (a zesty native Aussie botanical). Take a sip and it stays savoury, green olive and herbs up front, a gentle saline tingle like sea air, then juniper snaps in clean on the finish. There's a real silky texture to it too, courtesy of three cold-pressed extra-virgin olive oils. Long, herby finish that begs for a second sip. Smart, grown-up, not sweet.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
Four Pillars distils in the Yarra Valley, just outside Melbourne, Australia. The idea for this one clicked during a visit to Cobram Estate's olive harvest in Victoria, when they realised olive oil and dried olive leaves could be proper gin botanicals, not just a garnish. A full year of trials later, it launched in August 2020. They use three cold-pressed extra-virgin olive oils (Picual, Hojiblanca and Coratina) plus olive-leaf tea, alongside Mediterranean rosemary and bay and very Australian touches like macadamia and lemon myrtle.
