Barr Hill Reserve Tom Cat Gin

43% ABV

Made in Vermont by Caledonia Spirits, a project that started as a collaboration between a beekeeper and a distiller. Their Gin is made with a base of neutral grain spirit that is passed through their "custom-built botanical extraction still" with hand crushed organic juniper berries. No other botanicals are added to the distillation. For their Tom Cat Gin, the finished spirit is added to charred new American Oak barrels to rest. They then add local Vermont wildflower honey to sweeten it lightly which adds a great deal of botanical character. A richer and fuller expression of Gin due to the barrel aging, it works wonderfully in a Negroni or even in an Old Fashioned. Essentially a Barrel Aged Old Tom style of Gin as the name would lead you to believe.

A fantastic Gin from a company that does important work to protect our vital pollinators, the bees! Kosher and gluten free.
