Caledonia Spirits Barr Hill Reserve Tom Cat Gin

Barr Hill Tom Cat Reserve is crafted by maturing Barr Hill Gin for three to four months in new American oak casks. “While resting in the barrels, the gin is constantly transforming,” says Todd Hardie, Caledonia Spirits founder. “The charred barrels contribute to the brown color of the spirit and give our Barr Hill Reserve Tom Cat its complex flavor.” Tom Cat Reserve has notes of juniper and ginger, but also has touches of caramel, vanilla and honey that are robust and bountiful. The combination of juniper and oak mingle to create a distinct cinnamon note. An absolutely spectacular, one of a kind spirit.
