Celebrate Bee's Knees Week with B&B and Barr Hill Spirits!! Barr Hill Vodka is distilled entirely from raw honey. In fact, it takes several pounds to make each bottle. Barr Hill Gin is distilled with juniper in a custom-built botanical extraction still and is finished with raw honey - the delivery vessel for countless other botanicals and a hint of sweetness - to perfectly balance the juniper.

HIRSCH is a spirit for a new generation of enthusiasts: the curator-explorers who mark quality moments with quality whiskey — and not the other way around. It’s for those who believe there’s an art to finding the hidden gems, and who, like the founder A. H. Hirsch, are empowered to find their own way — of reaching the summit, of enjoying a glass. Because, while whiskey-making has always been a craft, HIRSCH seeks to push into a new direction: the craft of exploration.

This straight rye whiskey was aged in new handmade fine grain charred American oak barrels. In traditional barrel making, the cooper heats the staves over a fire of oak chips, allowing them to be bent and formed into a barrel. During this process, the inside of the barrel becomes lightly toasted. By the early 19th century, coopers had learned that if they allowed the heat to continue, the inside of the barrel would burst into flames and become charred. Handmade oak barrels—charred in this traditional manner—impart a rich color and unique character to this rye whiskey.

A vibrant addition to the Nikka range, Days is a bright blend of malt and grain whiskies from both Nikka's Yoichi and Miyagikyo distilleries. Its medium body hosts an array of floral and zesty flavors, which mingle with vanilla-toffee and a light, distant touch of breezy peat smoke. A fresh and delicate whisky, Days makes a delicious sipping dram or sits beautifully in a refreshing highball.
