Sale of 50% of Four Pillars

Canterbury Partners advised the shareholders of Four Pillars, a Healesville based gin distillery, on the sale of 50% of Four Pillars to Lion.

Founded in 2013, Four Pillars has quickly become one of the worlds leading craft gin brands via its Australian produced Rare Dry, Spiced Negroni, Navy Strength and Bloody Shiraz gins. The partnership with Lion will greatly assist Four Pillars as it seeks to continue its growth trajectory and expand its presence in the domestic, international, and global travel retail markets. For Lion, the investment in Four Pillars presented an exciting opportunity to branch into a new category outside of its core beer offering.
