gin, bourbon and a honey bee got together and made this deliciousness....

Smokey, sweet, hint of ginger ale.

If a gin and a rum had a baby, and that baby grew up beautiful and sassy it would be this gin. Enjoy this and add it to your bar.

Reminds me of tree sap. It's almost like a hybrid spirit between rum, whiskey, and gin.

This gin gets tastier with every sip 😋

This barrel aged gin is a delight to sip neat, with sweet honeyed notes blending really nicely with the sharp and expected juniper and pine. Tastes like a whiskey with uncommon nuance. Best aged gin I've tasted.

Color is amber. Nose is rich honey, with a background of juniper. Further nosing shows subtle citrus notes. First sip is viscous, which, paired with the rich honey notes, almost makes it feel like honey. The juniper is present, but fairly muted by the honey. Notes resembling citrus, but may actually be a variation of the juniper, show later in the palate. Finish is just an extension of the citrusy/juniper note with maybe a little spice note. Overall, enjoyable but maybe a little bland when served neat. When paired with 3:1 Fevertree Aromatic Tonic Water, actually gets to be a little better, as the Angostura nicely complements the juniper and honey.

Tastes like a full cocktail distilled into a spirit. Really interesting and really delicious gin. A little sweeter than most, but smooth and very easy to sip on

A GREAT GIN! Friends that have never liked Gin found this one very tasty and it has become a bit of a holiday tradition in the winter.

Sean, Sep 25, 2019

Fantastic gin! The barrel aging gives it a nice, smooth, almost rummy flavor, with a strong juniper taste to remind you you're drinking gin. Deifnitely my favorite gin at the moment, great both straight and with tonic.

Best Tom cat I’ve ever had

Leah, Sep 14, 2019

Really fascinating complex flavors. Good sipping gin. Sweet but not cloying, slight medicinal nose, but does not come through on the palate.

Teagan, Sep 12, 2019

This was definitely the sweetest gin I've tasted, and for me that's not necessarily a positive thing. Coming from much more herbal and floral gins, this wasn't really what I was looking for. However, what others here are saying is true: it feels more like a sweet bourbon or rum, except with a juniper base. If those are your shtick then I imagine you'll be quite happy.

Justin, Sep 2, 2019

Currently my favorite gin, with a strong juniper flavor to enhance the experience. I prefer this to Barr Hill's other gin, but if someone finds the juniper too powerful they may find the Barr Hill base gin to be a better experience.

Catherine, Aug 31, 2019

Good but a little too sweet for more than one drink. Nice strong juniper flavor.

Rick, Aug 15, 2019

I was blown away with how good this is. I'm a whiskey and aged rum fan and this hits a lot of the same notes. The honey adds the slightest sweetness and balances the spice of the pepper. I got this in a tasting box and will definitely add it to my regular go-to favorites in my home bar. Very nice!

Christina, Aug 9, 2019

My favorite spirit of all time. Raw honey flavor is forward in a great way, not sweet, just flavorful. It's a gin, but finishes like a whiskey, super smooth, the only spirit I prefer to drink straight.

Robert, Jun 27, 2019

Smell: caramel, sugar. Taste: Almost like a rum. Honey is definitely forward. Not the typical bite you expect with gin. Body: thick and syrupy. Finish: sugary with a small bite. Wasn’t a huge fan on its own, but mixed with a fentimans tonic it is totally amazing!!!!

Austin, Jun 19, 2019

Wow! Such a sweet, subtle floral nose with a warm, whiskey like finish.

Mike, May 6, 2019

Too much honey sweetness for my taste. Love the legs, body and oaky/ caramel bourboness but just can’t over come the honey.

Sonali, Mar 24, 2019

Surprisingly delightful! Rather than adding sweetness, the honey characteristic provides another layer of depth and helps with carry and soften it's peppery note. I was concerned by this gin's color and profile notes, but it really is lovely and nice to sip on its own! Definitely a treat to any home bar!

Seth, Mar 21, 2019

Very tasty. Not as much sweetness as you might think from the honey being present, just adds a touch but interesting character. This with club soda and a lemon wedge is a spectacular drink.

Shane, Mar 17, 2019

I don’t normally drink Gin neat, however there is so much flavor, that you would be doing yourself a disservice if you mixed it.

Sonali, Mar 24, 2019

I had planned to drink this with a mixer after reading the profile notes, but ended up driving it neat. You're completely right that creating a cocktail would be a disservice!

Wesly, Feb 20, 2019

Amazing - like gin, like whiskey... the best of both worlds. Favorite way to enjoy- simply on the rocks.

Michael, Feb 10, 2019

wow. that's pretty good gin. Never enjoyed gin as a sipper, but this one is different. especially with a splash of water. Sweet. Honey and juniper. Simple. Not your average gin.

Richard, Jan 26, 2019

This is my favorite sipping gin. All the flavors are subtly mellow by the again. I was already a fan of Bar Hill. Ready to order my next bottle.

Leon, Jan 4, 2019

Best gin I have had is long while, nice flavor. Great on the rocks with s piece of orange

Kristen, Dec 5, 2018

Subtle sweetness from the honey is amazing.

Mark, Dec 1, 2018

First time having aged gin. It is now among my favorites

Amber, Nov 16, 2018

Wow this was delicious as a GT! I love the sweetness from the honey, will definitely buy another bottle

Anita, Oct 23, 2018

A G&T with Tom Cat made me like G & Ts again. This one is not for you if you like them dry, but hints of honey and other earthy flavors are readily available to the nose making for a more complex spirit.

Kevin, Oct 6, 2018

Makes a decent Manhattan with sweet vermouth and bitters, I must say...

Kevin, Oct 6, 2018

Also, a hint of clove. Not sure I like that.

Kevin, Oct 6, 2018

I'll have to have a few more sips. But first impressions: Leather, juniper, then cinnamon with a sweet finish. A different gin than what I'm used to.

Marie, Sep 13, 2018

By itself I would serve after dinner to replace a sherry or even a grappa. This gin can cover both. Curious to try it as a perfect martini so I can pull in some sweet vermouth.
