"Barr Hill Gin is our ode to the hardworking bees of the Northeast. Each batch is distilled in our custom-built botanical extraction still. The juniper-forward botanicals are brought to a perfect balance by the floral depth of the raw honey. The results are distinctive and unparalleled. How do we extract such complexity from simple raw materials? Our secrets are kept in the hive." - Caledonia Website
Made with raw honey, this unusual gin has a faint straw tinge and distinctly sweet palate, mixing beeswax with hints of vanilla, clove and cayenne. Grapefruit peel astringency lifts the otherwise sweet flavor profile.
This is overproof Barr Hill Vodka flavored with juniper, and nothing else. That may sound a little simplistic for gin, which typically comprises at least 8 ingredients, and Barr Hill Gin doesn’t exactly reinvent the wheel.
