Vermont-based Barr Hill Hill Tom Cat Gin, Gin and Vodka.

Mancini Beverage was appointed Rhode Island distributor of Vermont-based Caledonia Spirits’ Barr Hill line, which includes Barr Hill Vodka, Gin, and Tom Cat Gin and its bartender-created Gin & Tonic Canned Cocktail. “We’re thrilled to see this partnership come together. The strength and storytelling capabilities of the Martignetti team is sure to unlock great opportunities for the Barr Hill brand in our major backyard markets,” said Ryan Christiansen, President and Head Distiller. “It’s a really exciting time for our team and our farming partners.” Barr Hill Gin entered the spirits market in 2011, thriving at Vermont farmers markets before expanding into broader territories. Barr Hill has also been credited with the resurgence of the Bee’s Knees cocktail on bar menus throughout the country. “We are really looking forward to taking the Barr Hill brand to the next level and beyond in our state,” said Jackie Mancini, President, Mancini Beverage.
