THE GIN

This gin is Cam’s tribute to four things he loves: Australia, Christmas, gin and his late mum, Wilma.

Each year Wilma would use the 1968 Australian Women’s Weekly recipe to make her puds on Victoria Derby Day, while the rest of the family listened to the races. To this day, one of Cam’s great childhood memories is how his house would smell like Christmas over Cup Weekend.

“I found the recipe and thought it would be fun to start doing it with my girls every year. But even as I was buying all the ingredients at the shops (mixed peel, oranges, dried fruit) I just kept thinking how well it would all distill. And with juniper having such a great pine needle character to begin with, a Christmas gin just started to make sense really quickly.” – Cameron Mackenzie

We distil whole Christmas puddings in the botanical basket with amped-up juniper, cassia and star anise.

THE LABEL

Lucy was born in Melbourne but now lives and works in Berlin, sharing her uniquely modern Australian creativity with the world. Lucy turns found objects into handmade collages full of nostalgia, whimsy and detail. In this artwork, Lucy reimagines the warmth, closeness and togetherness of a traditional Christmas Day and places it in a surreal Australian landscape with Wilma’s pudding at the centre, enough for all of us to share. Because across the years and around the world, Christmas Day is always a special time to share with our closest family and friends."

Four Pillars

At Four Pillars Distillery we want to elevate the craft of distilling, so everything we make is crafted on four pillars: Stills, Water, Botanicals and Love. They have proved that the first three of those pillars are the best in the world and arguably so is the fourth pillar too. Great gins loaded with curiosity and excitement.
