Clean, resinous juniper on the nose with a distinctive sweetness from raw honey, think pine and beeswax over a light citrus background. The palate is lean and minerally with honey, lavender, and a dry, herbal finish that is closer to London Dry than the sweetness on the nose suggests.

Barr Hill is produced by Caledonia Spirits in Hardwick, Vermont. The recipe uses only two botanicals, juniper and raw northern Vermont honey, making it one of the most stripped-down gin recipes in American craft spirits. The honey is added post-distillation to preserve its enzymatic complexity, which is destroyed by heat. The result is a gin that functions as a direct showcase of Vermont raw honey terroir.
