Barr Hill Gin

Sustainability

At Barr Hill, we’re not just distillers of award-winning spirits, we’re stewards of the land, friends with farmers and protectors of pollinators. Barr Hill began as an agricultural initiative between a beekeeper and a distiller, and to us, conservation means doing things for nature’s sake. Every time you raise a glass of Barr Hill, you support the working landscape and the delicate web of life that links agriculture to cocktail culture.

Premium raw honey from family farms in our region is the signature ingredient in every Barr Hill spirit. In fact, Barr Hill Vodka is distilled entirely from raw honey, no grains or potatoes. And our gins, Barr Hill Gin and the barrel aged Tom Cat Gin, use only responsibly sourced juniper. We source all of our ingredients from sustainable farms that avoid neonics and other harmful pesticides to support healthy ecosystems..

We wouldn’t be able to do what we love without farmers. We work closely with area farms to source the highest quality, responsibly grown, raw ingredients for our award winning spirits, as well as for our celebrated cocktail bar on site. It provides a valuable route to market for many family farms in the region and allows us to showcase the rugged spirit and terroir of our beautiful home place.

We’re proud to be at the forefront of the spirits industry, leading a shift to mindfulness in distilling, pioneering innovative advances in heat reclamation, wastewater reduction and green energy, and sourcing the highest quality raw ingredients from responsible farms. Its our mission to reconnect cocktail culture to agriculture. We strive to Raise our Barr everyday, and are constantly looking for new ways to improve our impact in the spirits industry and in our community

America’s Most Awarded Gin

Barr Hill Gin is our ode to the hardworking bees of the Northeast. The juniper-forward botanicals are brought to a perfect balance by the floral depth of the raw honey. The results are distinctive and unparalleled.

Barr Hill Gin is distilled once in our custom-built botanical extraction still with hand-crushed, juniper, and then finished with raw honey from our region. The raw honey contributes botanical depth from the countless wildflowers foraged by the bees. How do we extract such complexity from simple raw materials? Our secrets are kept in the hive.

Bar Hill Gin offers a beautifully balanced profile, combining the bold, piney freshness of juniper with the soft, warming sweetness of honey. On the nose, it opens with classic juniper aromas complemented by subtle notes of citrus zest, wild herbs, and a gentle floral touch. The palate is crisp and vibrant, with juniper taking the lead, followed by a smooth wave of honey that rounds out the botanicals and adds a delicate sweetness. Hints of coriander, angelica root, and lemon peel contribute complexity and depth. The finish is clean and lingering, leaving a warm impression of honey layered over dry juniper and a touch of spice.

Juniper-forward botanicals with soft wildflower nectars present from our raw honey.  Expertly balanced with a depth of natural botanicals, this award winning gin is approachable and well suited to elevate any gin cocktail. Enjoy it on the rocks, as a classic G&T and memorable Bee’s Knees cocktail.
