LOOK FOR THE BLACK CAT THIS FALL

A wickedly delicious partnership

  • Two of the most iconic names in craft spirits are coming together for a cocktail experience that defines the season.

    The Black Cat combines Barr Hill’s barrel-aged Tom Cat Reserve Gin and Carpano Antica Sweet Vermouth for a bold, brooding cocktail.

    But for those daring enough to cross the Black Cat's path, a soft, welcoming side will present.

A bottle of Barr Hill Reserve Tom Cat Gin stands on a rustic wooden surface next to a rocks glass filled with a cocktail garnished with an orange peel, set against a dark wood background.

Why The 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 barrel-aged Tom Cat Gin. For spirit aficionados, the tale of the Black Cat and Tom Cat Gin have become cult favorites.

This fall, the secret signal is back.
