This is a super fun one for Ginvitational Day 10, and also Spirits Review #1600! Four Pillars Bloody Shiraz Gin is technically a gin liqueur here in the US as it is under 40% ABV, though just barely. This gin is distilled and blended with another portion of gin that is steeped with Yarra Valley Shiraz Grapes. This is bold, dark in color and looks interesting, unlike something I hadn't seen, so I had to try it. Let's dive in!

  • Four Pillars Bloody Shiraz Gin smells like a spicy twist on sloe gin, with sloe berries and cooked plums backed with some tangy herbality. Sweetness comes first on the palate, like herb-flecked fruit leather. Finishes like an adult, semi-dry fruit candy.

  • I really like this. It's technically a gin liqueur but so close in proof I wanted to give it a review. On a rock, this may be the best one stop shop cocktail you ever come across. This and a bag of ice could get me through August alone, I think. Either way, I'm a fan. A really big fan. Something I really didn't expect to say.

  • The herbal overtones are less clear here, as the finish evokes chocolate syrup and plump raisins. Bittersweet and, of course, blood red in color, it’s as unique a “gin” as you’ll ever encounter. Try it in a Negroni.

  • Nose:

    Pungent and complex, with some nice fruit notes. Smuckers jam, juniper, olive brine, sweet cream and loads of cherry, blackberry, blueberry and currant.

  • Taste:

    Thick and rich on the palate. Sweet but not cloying. Lots of juniper, pepper, honey, black currant, some coriander and white pepper. Really interesting here. Sweet and juicy, meets bold and juniper-y.

  • Finish:

    Short in length and less sweet here with more focus on juniper and pepper.

  • Overall:

    I really like this. It's technically a gin liqueur but so close in proof I wanted to give it a review. On a rock, this may be the best one stop shop cocktail you ever come across. This and a bag of ice could get me through August alone, I think. Either way, I'm a fan. A really big fan. Something I really didn't expect to say.
