Sure enough, honey finds its way into one of Caledonia’s signature products, Barr Hill Gin — specifically, the spirit is finished with locally sourced raw wildflower honey, which Christiansen said serves as the perfect balance to juniper, the key botanical in gin. Christiansen added that 2,600 pounds of raw honey is used in every batch of Barr Hill.
