Floating on a gin dream

February 4, 2022
By Ioni Doherty

For the third summer, Four Pillars have collaborated with Melbourne’s iconic outdoor floating bar and restaurant, Arbory Afloat, to release the highly sought after limited release pink gin. This year, it is available to Four Pillars’ fans right around the country with a small number of bottles available for delivery right around Australia.

Boasting citrus, spice and a touch of Turkish delight, Four Pillars Distiller Cameron Mackenzie says, “There is no mistaking this is a Four Pillars Gin. It has intense aromas of citrus with both the orange and finger lime giving a bright, fresh character.

“The palate is a little different – pine forest juniper, light spice with a lingering Turkish delight character from the rose water. The light pink colour comes from the addition of Carmine, the natural colour used in many liqueurs such as Campari.”

Bottled to capture the very essence of an exotic European holiday; pink-tinged sunsets over the Turquoise Coast of Turkey, may summer continue with your own bottle of Arbory Afloar Gin stocked in the home bar.
