Caledonia Spirits Set to Release Tom Cat

Tuesday, February 11, 2014
Caledonia Spirits, an outgrowth of Todd Hardie's original beekeeping and honey house endeavors in northeastern Vermont, is getting set to release a rested gin they are calling Barr Hill Reserve Tom Cat. According to assistant distiller Andrew Pinault this batch of Barr Hill gin is "aged in new American oak barrels for 3-4 months. While resting in the barrels, the gin is constantly transforming. The charred barrels contribute to the brown color of the spirit and give our Barr Hill Reserve Tom Cat its complex flavor. This is our first brown spirit at Caledonia. Weeks of discussion with the TTB led to us not being able to use the word “gin” on the label (as raw honey is added after distillation and then it goes into a barrel), so we are calling this Reserve and Tom Cat."

Caledonia Spirits hopes to release the Tom Cat in February. Visit them here to learn more.
