Barr Hill Tom Cat Reserve Barrel Aged Gin

$52.99

Barr Hill Tom Cat Reserve is a barrel-aged gin from Caledonia Spirits in Vermont — distilled from corn and finished with raw honey, then matured in barrel for a burnished rose-gold hue and a modern-day adaptation of the sweetened Old Tom style.

Tom Cat takes the raw-honey philosophy of Barr Hill and ages it in oak, layering vanilla and soft spice over the honey-and-juniper core. The barrel rounds the spirit and deepens the color to rose gold, while the raw honey keeps a gentle sweetness that echoes the historic Old Tom style without being sugary.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Honey and juniper mingling with soft oak
Palate: Slightly sweet up front, brisk piney mid-palate, fading to vanilla and a brush of peach
