The Cause

Save the Bees,
Save the World

Bees are responsible for one in every three bites of our food, so making sure they stick around is vital. The people behind Barr Hill, America’s Most Awarded Gin, use raw honey to make their Landcrafted® Spirits, so they know how important bees are. Bee’s Knees Week is a celebration of the tiny hard working creatures, and you can help replenish their habitat by simply mixing and sharing. Let’s make Plan Bee our Plan A.

Caledonia Spirits

Flawless, Landcrafted Spirits

The story of the Barr Hill brand is one of passion, friendship, and DIY spirit. A lifelong beekeeper and a distiller from Vermont joined forces in 2011 and established Caledonia Spirits. Their fermentation process bets on the natural diversity of wild yeast, while raw honey imparts a soft and subtle essence of botanicals foraged by bees in each of their Spirits. Barr Hill Gin is finished with raw honey, which gives the classic dram an unprecedented, lush layer of flavors. They also produce Barr Hill Reserve Tom Cat Gin and Barr Hill Vodka.
