Four Pillars Bloody Shiraz, 70 cl - Award Winning Premium Australian Gin - With Signature Botanicals and Local Shiraz Grapes

Product Information

Launching in 200+ Waitrose stores for September 2020, Four Pillars Bloody Shiraz Gin is described by the distillery as an 'experiment-gone-right.' In August 2021 we released our inaugural single vineyard Bloody Underhill Shiraz Gin made in partnership with the incredible Sarah Crowe at Yarra Yering. No gin-based drink we have ever seen has tasted quite like this. It is far removed from our regular Bloody Shiraz Gin; deeper in colour, higher in alcohol, more intense in sweetness and considerably more complex in flavour. The tannins are stronger and the Amaro-like bitterness adds a dryness that makes this very sippable.

Pomegranate juice - if you don't have this, try replacing it with an equal amount of cranberry juice. It was a gin drink that defied easy description or categorisation. A bit amaro-like but not really amaro-like, a bit like a Barolo Chinato but different. It was truly unique. If you’re entertaining, this Day Spa punch will impress your guests. Mix a full bottle of Bandwagon Dry with 700ml cold mineral spring water (chilled filtered tap water works well too) and 250ml elderflower cordial in a carafe or jug. Stir in 2 lemons sliced into wheels along with a whole sleeve of mint. It’s as refreshing as a trip to the day spa! Bloody Bandwagon In need of some positivity?

Bloody Bandwagon is based on Four Pillars’ Bloody Shiraz Gin. The original was created when Four Pillars came into a 250-kilogram load of Shiraz grapes from the Yarra Valley. The experiment paid off, with Bloody Shiraz Gin now considered a cult favourite. Like Bloody Shiraz Gin, Bloody Bandwagon perfectly balances sweet fruit and all the gin flavours. Stuart Gregor, co-founder of Four Pillars, said: “Taking our Bloody Shiraz Gin to the drinkers of Britain is a lot like selling coals to Newcastle, just a lot more fun. The world of gin and distilleries like ours is indebted to the couple of centuries of great gin-making in the UK; without you, there is no us. This non-alcoholic gin features aromas of orange and lemon myrtle, along with notes of spice on the palate. You’ll also notice some warmth that comes from a heavier load of botanicals. Pour 45-60ml of Bandwagon Dry over ice and top with 100ml of your favourite tonic. Garnish with a slice of fresh orange. Four Pillars Rare Dry Gin combined with Yarra Valley Shiraz grapes? Bloody brilliant. This experiment using local cool climate Shiraz has become a cult favourite, perfectly balancing sweet fruit and ginny goodness.Bandwagon Dry has been modelled on Four Pillars’ original, Rare Dry Gin, which has become something of a benchmark for modern, citrus-forward gins with a combination of Middle Eastern, Asian and local Australian botanicals. Bandwagon Dry follows the same path but without alcohol. Pink gin is a firm favourite but we're spotting more purple gins emerging and this one looks particularly special. Four Pillars began by working on alcohol-free versions of their two most popular products, Rare Dry Gin and Bloody Shiraz Gin, crafting, testing and tasting to create the best non-alcoholic gin possible. The team consider the finished products, Bandwagon Dry and Bloody Bandwagon to be their best shot at Australia’s best-tasting non-alcoholic gin .

Some non-alcoholic spirits fall short in terms of heat and mouthfeel, elements that are difficult to create without the use of alcohol. Four Pillars have used some clever ingredients to overcome this challenge. While Britain is the home of gin, an exciting new addition to Waitrose's gin offering is actually from an award-winning Australian distillery. Four Pillars Gin is bringing its Bloody Shiraz Gin to supermarket shelves here in the UK.If you provide content to customers through CloudFront, you can find steps to troubleshoot and help prevent this error by reviewing the CloudFront documentation. If you’re a gin lover too, you’ll be delighted to hear that Australia’s favourite independent gin maker, Four Pillars Gin , has released a range of non-alcoholic gin . Four Pillars takes their gin seriously, in fact, they take their gin so seriously that they don’t make anything else. So when they set out to create a non-alcoholic gin , they knew it would have to live up to their reputation. The key ingredient in Bloody Shiraz Gin is fermented Shiraz grapes, which contain alcohol, so Four Pillars had to find a different way to inject the Shiraz flavour and colour. They did this by using pressed Shiraz grape juice, made from cool-climate Victorian Shiraz grapes. The result is a convincing alcohol-free version of the cult favourite. Bandwagon Dry Another, less spooky, garnish option would be to cut a lemon wheel and add that to the side of the glass. Or, just twist a lemon peel over top of the egg white foam and float it on top. Top tip

Maybe you’ve found yourself wondering how gin is made, well this daring gin experiment features locally sourced cool climate Shiraz grapes soaked in our Rare Dry Gin and it has rapidly attained a devoted following, striking the perfect harmony between delectable fruitiness and the unmistakable essence of gin. As Aussies, we obviously have taken something British and tried to improve upon it - we have plenty of great shiraz grapes and we make some of the best gin in the world, so it seemed a pretty bloody good idea to combine the two and see if the end result could be greater than the sum of the parts!" As we did last year, we steeped whole bunches of the Underhill fruit in Rare Dry Gin which had by this point spent two years ageing in Yarra Yering Dry Red barrels. After last year’s release, Cam topped up the barrels starting a solera which has bought more complexity and richness, and dry fruit and gingery characteristics to the 2022 vintage. Pour 45-60ml of Bloody Bandwagon over ice and top with 100ml of your favourite tonic. Garnish with a slice of fresh lemon. I was a huge fan of Four Pillars before I went alcohol-free, so I was very excited to try the Four Pillars non-alcoholic gin range and I’m even more excited to introduce Bandwagon Dry and Bloody Bandwagon to you. I’ve created this guide to help you learn more about Four Pillars Bandwagon and their two non-alcoholic gins . The making of Four Pillars non-alcoholic ginAlthough Bandwagon Dry is made with exactly the same botanicals as Rare Dry Gin (including juniper, oranges, lemon myrtle and pepperberry), each one is distilled separately so the flavour and quality can be controlled before they’re mixed together.
