Barr Hill Gin is a Gin hailing from America.

What is Barr Hill Gin?

Barr Hill Gin stands out in the crowded gin market by using raw honey as its sole botanical besides juniper, creating a uniquely smooth and subtly sweet profile. Interestingly, the distillery employs its own colony of bees to produce the honey used in the gin, with each bottle containing the essence of approximately 60,000 flower blossoms visited by these industrious pollinators.

Why do we love Barr Hill Gin?

Barr Hill Gin stands out for its use of raw honey as a botanical, adding a subtle sweetness and floral complexity that sets it apart from traditional gins. Crafted in Vermont using juniper and raw honey from local beekeepers, this gin offers a unique terroir-driven experience that gin enthusiasts will appreciate for its distinctive flavor profile and commitment to supporting local agriculture.

How do you drink Barr Hill Gin?

Barr Hill Gin shines in simple, gin-forward cocktails that allow its unique honey notes to take center stage, though it's equally delightful sipped neat or with a splash of tonic. This versatile spirit is a year-round pleasure, but its warm, golden hue makes it especially comforting on crisp autumn evenings, pairing beautifully with hearty dishes like roasted game or creamy cheeses that complement its subtle sweetness.

Nose: Fresh juniper and bright citrus notes dominate, backed by a distinct honey aroma. There's a subtle pine scent reminiscent of a forest after rain, with hints of wildflowers and herbs.

Palate: Smooth and creamy texture with a prominent juniper flavor. The honey sweetness is noticeable but not overpowering, balancing well with citrus zest and floral notes. A touch of spice and earthy undertones add complexity.

Finish: Long and warming, with lingering honey sweetness. The juniper and citrus notes fade gently, leaving a pleasant, slightly peppery warmth. A subtle vanilla-like quality emerges at the very end, likely from the base spirit.

Barr Hill Gin is crafted using a unique process that incorporates raw honey from local Vermont beekeepers. The distillers add this honey just before bottling, which imparts a subtle sweetness and floral complexity to the gin without overpowering the juniper-forward profile.

  • Barr Hill Gin is made with raw honey from the distillery's own beehives, giving it a uniquely smooth and subtly sweet character that sets it apart from traditional gins. The honey is added after distillation, preserving its delicate floral notes.
  • Despite its complex flavor profile, Barr Hill Gin uses only three botanicals: juniper, coriander, and raw honey. This minimalist approach allows each ingredient to shine and creates a gin that's both simple and sophisticated.
  • The distillers at Caledonia Spirits, makers of Barr Hill Gin, are so committed to supporting bee populations that they've established a program called "Bee's Knees Week." During this annual event, they plant 10 square feet of bee habitat for every cocktail photo shared on social media using their hashtag.

      A new gin

      Barr Hill Gin is a light and slightly sweet gin with a pleasant aroma. It’s easy to sip but better used in cocktails. It makes a decent Negroni.
