Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Tom Cat different from regular gin?

Most gins are unaged and bottled clear. Tom Cat is barrel-aged in new American oak — giving it a golden color and a whiskey-like depth of flavor that sets it apart from any traditional gin. It's a category-defying spirit that appeals to both gin enthusiasts and bourbon lovers.

What is Barr Hill known for?

Barr Hill Distillery is a Vermont-based craft distillery renowned for its use of raw, unfiltered honey from local beekeepers as a key ingredient. Their commitment to terroir-driven, honey-forward spirits has earned them a devoted following among craft spirits enthusiasts.

How should I serve it?

Exceptional neat or on the rocks to appreciate the barrel and honey complexity. Also outstanding in a Tom Collins, Negroni, or Old Fashioned-style cocktail where the oak character can shine.
