Caledonia Spirits was founded by Todd Hardie, a former farmer & beekeeper who started the distillery in 2008 as a way to support the local agricultural community. The distillery is now under the leadership of owner and head distiller Ryan Christiansen, who purchased the company in 2015. Barr Hill Gin uses a pure grain spirit before juniper berry is added during distillation in a custom-built extraction still. Prior to bottling, raw northern honey is added to the spirit. It's bottled at 45% ABV.

Tasting Notes

"On the nose, juniper comes on strong for a moment before it's balanced out with sweet citrus and floral notes. A honeyed, lemon quality is consistent through the palate and is complemented by balanced lavender and orange blossom notes and mild juniper, with rich baking spice and cedar undertones. This gin would be fantastic in a number of applications, particularly when the floral, honey flavors are allowed to shine through."
