Barr Hill Reserve Tom Cat Barrel Aged Gin

The first-ever release of aged gin from this outstanding producer is an exclusive batch made specifically for us. The local juniper berries and raw honey that Todd Hardie has been cultivating for the past thirty years are the start of the show here. The nose is a wonderful back and forth volley of invigorating floral juniper, that complements the fresh wood notes perfectly, lemon drops, and sweet honey. The texture is luscious at first but shifts gears on the mid-palate to show off flavors of clementines, banana, caramel, and sawdust, coming full circle to the extended piney, juniper finish. No doubt one of the best things we have ever tasted.
