Barr Hill Vodka is distilled from raw honey by Caledonia Spirits in Hardwick, Vermont, a tribute to hardworking beekeepers, here in a 375ml bottle at 80 proof (40% ABV).
Each late summer the distillery takes delivery of hundreds of barrels of pure raw honey. The recipe depends on two simple principles: never heat the honey before fermentation, and never distill more than twice. That preserves the wild yeast and rich aromatics of the nectar, capturing the essence of wildflower fields, with three pounds of raw honey in every bottle.
Delicate wildflower honey and light floral notes lead the nose, with a hint of juicy orange. The palate is round and viscous, with soft honey and vanilla and a touch of black pepper, finishing smooth and clean with a crisp texture.
A handy half-size bottle of one of America's most distinctive vodkas.
