A double win for Never Never Distilling Co and Four Pillars

ICONS OF GIN WINNERS

It’s a big win for Four Pillars from Melbourne's Yarra Valley, who took out Brand Innovator of the Year AND Distiller of the Year.
Founders Matt Jones, Cameron Mackenzie and Stuart Gregor launched Four Pillars back in December 2013 with their Rare Dry Gin. Since then they have played a major part in putting Australia on the gin map.

“Four Pillars is arguably, the most exciting and dynamic gin brand anywhere in the world.” GIN FOUNDRY, UK

Never Never Distilling Co's Tim Boast has been awarded Master Distiller of the Year. Tim was selected from an international field of top distillers across all spirit categories.
"A career in distilling should be treated as a marathon, not a sprint. Especially if you intend on making aged spirits. If your intention is to start your own brand and create your own products, it will take longer than you think, challenge your resolve frequently but you’ll get to where you want with a great team surrounding you." Tim Boast. Congratulations Tim!
