Barr Hill Gin is an award-winning spirits brand made with raw honey and produced at Caledonia Spirits’ eco-friendly distillery in Vermont. The company prioritizes sustainability by using renewable solar energy, heat reclamation and transforming distillery waste into biofuel that generates electricity for the surrounding community.

Barr Hill’s annual initiative, Bee’s Knees Week, encourages people to order a Bee’s Knees cocktail and share a photo on social media with the hashtag #beeskneesweek. For every photo shared, Barr Hill partners with non-profits to plant 10 square feet of pollinator habitat. Bee’s Knees Week has become the largest sustainability event in the spirits industry, with over half a million square feet of new pollinator habitat created in the last three years alone.

Barr Hill Gin (45% ABV) and Barr Hill Tom Cat Gin (43% ABV) are both crafted using raw honey as a key ingredient. Barr Hill Gin is a classic dry-style gin with notes of clove, grapefruit and wildflower honey, while Tom Cat is barrel-aged and has a rich, complex flavor with smacks of vanilla and oak. Find both gins from $23 to $50 each and try them in a Bee’s Knees, Negroni or your favorite simple gin cocktails.
