Still Magic - Foreword & Introduction

Episode 1
Still Magic Season 1 describes how gin making is far more accessible than people would first consider.
This episode references the Foreword and Introduction to the book Still Magic - A gin distiller's guide for beginners.
This includes an 'early days' overview of the Four Pillars story as described by founder and distiller, Cameron Mackenzie. Four Pillars received the International Wines and Spirits Competition's highest honour, recognised as the world's best gin business in 2019, a mere 6 years after starting out.
The original premise behind writing and publishing Still Magic, was recognising that ‘something was missing’ from the gin narrative. Although there is lots of information generously provided by gin enthusiasts, bloggers, cocktail aficionados, bar tenders, sales and marketing people, advertisers, historians, and entertainers, it was puzzling to see that a distiller hadn’t published a book for beginners.
What had originally started out as a fanciful idea to write a book ‘some day’, became an exercise beyond authorship and one with a renewed sense of purpose.
The goals of the Still Magic podcast seasons to come, are to consider some of the finest distilled products available, and to give their producers an enduring voice.
Be bold. Enjoy yourselves. Let's create the next gin narrative.
