The Original Black Cat

Since 1738, the Black Cat has meant one thing: the good stuff is here.


When London outlawed gin, underground distillers nailed the sign of a black cat above their doors — a secret signal that told those who knew what to look for exactly where to find it. The symbol spread across the city.

For us at Barr Hill, this story inspired the name for our Tom Cat Gin, the barrel-aged version of Barr Hill Gin. For spirit aficionados, both this historical story and Tom Cat Gin are cult favorites.

This Negroni Week, the signal is back.
