The Monthly Buzz - March 2025

March Monthly Buzz: Celebrate Sugaring Season with Barr Hill Gin

Spring means sugaring season, the sweetest time of the year in Vermont. We’re excited to share maple cocktails, maple spirits, maple events and more! (We’re Vermonters, we go a little maple crazy🤷🍁)

Cocktail Inspiration: The Bee's Trees Cocktail

In spring, we love to highlight one of Vermont’s most famous exports, maple syrup. Try this maple variation on the classic Bee’s Knees to celebrate the delightful flavor of spring in Vermont!

Pollinator Partner: Denver Urban Gardens

Every year during Bee’s Knees Week, you help us champion and protect pollinators through the simple act of purchasing a bottle of Barr Hill and/or enjoying a refreshing Barr Hill Bee’s Knees cocktail.

As participation has grown, we’ve been able to grow our impact by funding new partners around the country. In Denver, we’re thrilled to be working with Denver Urban Gardens (DUG), one of the largest independent networks of food producing gardens in the country with over 200 community gardens and food forests across the Denver metro area. Their Etkin Family Food Forest Initiative was an exciting fit for our search for a habitat partner that helps provide food for both pollinators AND people!

April is Earth Month! Celebrate our planet and support sustainable, independent craft producers who invest in their community and help create a thriving ecosystem for people, planet, and pollinators.

Your support means everything to us here in Vermont. We work hard to craft the best-tasting spirits in the best way possible. Thank you for purchasing our spirits, sharing Barr Hill with friends and family, and supporting us. If you're planning a trip to Vermont, come see us at the distillery in Montpelier!

This special is just in time to pick up a bottle (or two) of our Tom Cat Limited Cask - Stout Barrel. We did a secondary aging of Tom Cat Gin in stout barrels from our neighbors at Hill Farmstead Brewery in Greensboro. Notes of rich chocolate and toasted pastry with a hint of coffee complement the bold oak and spice notes of Tom Cat. We wish you the luck of the Irish on this special springtime offering!
