Wine Enthusiast
Review Date: 03/2023Mild lemongrass and pine aromas lead the nose. The palate treads lightly with mild lemon and lime. Fleeting lemon-sugar sweetness winds into a fiery pink peppercorn exhale. Botanicals include yuzu, ginger, turmeric and sencha genmaicha (Japanese green tea with roasted brown rice).(KN)

Notes
Four Pillars is not new to most K&L customers. If you ask for a gin recommendation in any of our stores, you're likely to hear a staff member enthusiastically recommend you try one of their many gins. The flagship product is their Rare Dry Gin which utilizes whole oranges grown just a stone's throw from the distillery. The Navy Strength prominently features fingerling limes (look them up if you don't know, they are amazing delights). In short, Four Pillars is no stranger to citrus and how to use it effectively. Now, enter yuzu. The Fresh Yuzu Gin uses Australian-grown yellow yuzu, and it has quickly become Four Pillars' bestselling gin in Australia. Think about that for a moment - Four Pillars, one of the world's premier gin producers with a lineup of great gins a mile long - added a new one that was so good it took over the rest of their business within months. We simply had to have it. So much so, that even though the official launch in the United States is scheduled for Spring of 2023, we have an advanced tranche of the Fresh Yuzu for your enjoyment. As for all that yuzu intensity in the gin, it's balanced by an array of botanicals that play very well with it. Juniper of course is the hat rack on which you can hang everything else and a beautiful composition of ginger, turmeric, sencha genmaicha, green tea, and a bit of roasted brown rice for depth provide the stage for the yuzu to shine.
