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.
