Caledonia Spirits
Caledonia Spirits, makers of Barr Hill, began in 2011 with a beekeeper and distiller working together in one of the most beautiful agricultural regions on Earth—the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont. Todd, a lifelong beekeeper, had been caring for bee hives across Vermont and the world. Ryan, a fermentation enthusiast, had previously founded a home brewing supply store in his hometown of Plainfield, Vermont. Todd and Ryan perfected the use of raw honey in the distillery, capturing the countless botanicals foraged by honey bees into a bottle of gin.
