JohnS Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Below is a link that discusses current retailers who manufacture gin in Australia. It certainly has become a boutique industry. http://www.goodfood.com.au/drinks/cocktails-spirits/gin-101-the-perfect-gin-and-tonic-plus-10-australian-craft-gins-to-try-20170926-gyp96l 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BellevilleMXZ Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Good read...Gin certainly seems to have blown up a bit as one of the latest things to be made by some of the smaller distilleries,even some local to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewNR Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 I'm lead to believe by one of the more recent establishments locally "Fosseys Gin" it has allot to do with tax etc making it an affordable entry. He had planned Rum also but apparently the taxes etc are crippling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lotusguy Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 As a side note, the gin industry is booming in Germany as well - started out with Monkey 47 (still the best Gin I ever had) and now there are dozens of local distilleries bringing out their own product. Also lots and lots of people have taken to Gin drinks as their favorite. I don't see this wave in US just yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely, the gin industry has seen a big change recently, and in a short time. And Four Pillars' example in their innovation and marketing in the last few years has proven what quality one can sample in these new gin products.

KL Wines near me did a special KL Wines release from Four Pillars. I now have 5 different gins from them at home - regular, navy strength, bloody Shiraz, barrel aged, and KL Wines.
