來自美國的Barr Hill Gin在The Whisky Library, 多年來一直大受歡迎，亦在全世界的烈酒比賽中獲得多個獎項。
其實Barr Hill Gin的背後理念與願景, 不單只有製酒那麼簡單。創辦人本身是養蜂人，有近50年養蜂經驗，致力用全天然有機野生蜂蜜和杜松子釀造，向勤勞的蜜蜂致敬。這不僅是對品質的追求，也是對環境和自然的尊重與保護。

Barr Hill Gin 是來自美國佛蒙特州蒙彼利埃（Montpelier）的手工製Gin酒，使命是將釀酒藝術與農業緊密連結，支持農村的可持續發展與保育蜜蜂。Barr Hill 由一位養蜂人與一位釀酒師合作發起，秉持保護大自然的理念，每一瓶 Barr Hill Gin酒的製作，都支持了美國當地農業生態與生物多樣性。他們視自身為土地的守護者、農民的朋友與蜜蜂的保護者，透過使用當地採集的生蜂蜜與自然栽培的杜松子，創造出獨特且環保的精釀Gin酒。Barr Hill 強調滋養土地和生態系統的重要性，連結品飲文化與自然環境，推動社區與環境共榮。

Barr Hill Gin 引以為傲地走在烈酒行業的前端，帶領釀造工藝朝向環保方向轉變，率先採用熱能回收、減少廢水排放及推動綠色能源等創新技術，並從具環境責任感的農場挑選最高品質的原料。他們的使命是重新連結雞尾酒文化與農業。

Barr Hill Gin使用自訂的植物提取蒸餾器，僅蒸餾一次，主原料是野生杜松子，最後加入當地採集的原生蜂蜜，使其風味獨特且複雜，口感豐富。Barr Hill的生蜂蜜來自自然採集的花蜜，為Gin酒帶來花香和甜味的平衡，展現當地的農業風土特色。Barr Hill Gin 不僅適合純飲，Libraian們也非常推薦用來調製經典雞尾酒如 Bee's Knees 和 Tom Collins。Barr Hill Gin 風味細膩且酒體濃稠，有花香和草本的辛辣感，也適合製作Martini等經典酒款。

Barr Hill Gin, handcrafted in Montpelier, Vermont, has long been a favorite at The Whisky Library and has earned numerous accolades at international spirits competitions. But behind its award-winning flavor lies a deeper philosophy—one rooted in reverence for nature and the tireless work of bees.

Founded by a seasoned beekeeper with nearly 50 years of experience, Barr Hill Gin is more than just a spirit. It’s a heartfelt homage to bees, crafted using wild juniper berries and raw, organic honey harvested locally. This commitment to natural ingredients reflects not only a pursuit of quality but also a profound respect for the environment.

Barr Hill Gin was born from a collaboration between a beekeeper and a distiller, united by a shared mission: to bridge the art of distillation with sustainable agriculture. Every bottle supports local ecosystems and biodiversity, reinforcing their role as stewards of the land, allies to farmers, and protectors of pollinators.

By using raw honey sourced from wildflower nectar and naturally cultivated juniper, Barr Hill creates a gin that’s both distinctive and environmentally conscious. Their approach celebrates the terroir of Vermont, connecting the culture of fine spirits with the rhythms of nature and community well-being.

Barr Hill is proud to be at the forefront of eco-conscious distilling. They’ve pioneered innovations like thermal energy recovery, wastewater reduction, and the use of green energy. Ingredients are carefully selected from environmentally responsible farms, ensuring every element of production aligns with their values.

Their mission is clear: to reconnect cocktail culture with agriculture, making every sip a celebration of the land.

Barr Hill Gin is distilled just once in a custom-built botanical extraction still, preserving the integrity of its wild juniper base. The final touch—locally harvested raw honey—adds a layer of complexity and richness, balancing floral notes with a gentle sweetness.

The result is a silky, aromatic gin with a spicy herbal backbone, perfect for sipping neat or mixing into classic cocktails like the Bee’s Knees, Tom Collins, or a refined Martini. Librarians and mixologists alike recommend it for its nuanced character and full-bodied texture.
