Barr Hill Raw Honey Gin 375ml Half Bottle

Product Description

Barr Hill Gin 375ml: Vermont Gin Made with Wild Juniper and Raw Honey

Barr Hill Gin is the juniper-forward gin from Caledonia Spirits in Vermont’s Northeast Kingdom, made with just two ingredients: wild juniper and raw honey. The brand began in 2011 as a partnership between a beekeeper and a distiller, and it takes its name from the nearby Barr Hill Nature Preserve. This 375ml half bottle is bottled at 90 proof (45% ABV).

The gin is distilled once, with wild juniper, in a custom-built botanical extraction still, using pure grain spirits as the canvas. Regional raw honey is added just before bottling. The honey adds a gentle sweetness and floral depth that varies with the season and blossom, and a faint straw color, because it goes in after distillation. The brand says it’s gluten-free and kosher.

Barr Hill’s annual Bee’s Knees Week supports honey bees and pollinators, and the brand says it has helped create more than 1.3 million square feet of habitat.

Tasting Notes

From Barr Hill’s notes and retailers’ descriptions.

Appearance: Crystal clear to faintly straw, with a slightly viscous look.

Nose: Fresh juniper leads, followed by wildflowers, citrus peel, and soft herbal notes.

Palate: Silky and rounded, with piney juniper, delicate citrus, and floral honey, plus a subtle spice. The brand calls it citrusy and juniper-forward, balanced by soft wildflower nectar.

Finish: Smooth and lingering, with fading juniper and a warming, honeyed finish.

Food Pairings

The juniper and honey pair well with oysters, smoked salmon, and goat cheese. It also goes with roasted chicken, lemon desserts, and fresh fruit.

Serving Suggestions

The brand’s signature is the Bee’s Knees: gin, lemon, and honey. It’s also good in a gin and tonic with a grapefruit twist, a Martini, a Gimlet, a French 75, or a Martinez. Over ice with a lemon twist works too.
