Four Pillars x Warner's Apple & Rhubarb Gin
Juicy, tart, and joyfully nostalgic - a spirited cross-continental collab that tastes like an orchard picnic at golden hour.

When Four Pillars (Australia's botanical maestros) teamed up with Warner's Distillery (the British champions of farm-grown flavour), the result was never going to be ordinary. This Apple & Rhubarb Collaboration Gin is a deliciously fresh meeting of two gin worlds - a seasonal, fruit-driven spirit that balances British hedgerow charm with Australian citrus flair. It's both comforting and bright, familiar and unexpected, like your favourite fruit crumble reimagined in a cocktail glass.

At its heart is rhubarb - sharp, tangy, and unmistakable - balanced by the soft sweetness of English apples and anchored with spice and citrus to keep things from tipping into dessert territory. The botanicals are dialled in with serious care: juniper, ginger, cardamom, and Australian blood orange add warmth and vibrancy, while native wattleseed and pink peppercorn lend depth and a gently savoury backbone.

The nose offers an instant waft of stewed apple and rhubarb crumble, but with a herbal lift that keeps things grown-up. On the palate, the fruit notes are juicy and bright - tart rhubarb up front, mellow apple in the middle - followed by a warming spice and citrus finish that feels both zesty and grounding. There's a natural fruit sweetness here, but it's elegantly restrained. Nothing syrupy or overdone, just pure orchard character in liquid form.

This gin is an absolute dream in a long serve - pair it with a dry tonic or ginger ale and a slice of green apple or lemon for a refreshing twist. It's also lovely in a spritz with soda and sparkling wine, or mixed into a fruit-forward Gin Sour or Fizz. While it's designed to be easy-going, there's enough nuance to keep more seasoned gin drinkers intrigued.

More than a novelty release, this collaboration is a genuine celebration of craft from two distilleries that truly respect their raw ingredients. It's proof that fruit gins can be complex and elegant - not just sweet and seasonal. Whether you're chasing a summer-friendly sipper or something to liven up your autumn cocktails, this is the kind of bottle that makes your bar cart (and your drinks) a whole lot more exciting.
