The bar team spent two years perfecting the recipe so that their tonic would complement the botanical complexity of Barr Hill’s gin and offer a more authentic tonic than conventional tonic water. Real tonic is hard to find, but when made well, it’s as good as the gin.” Ryan Christiansen, head distiller and president, Barr Hill Gin “It comes from the visionary bartenders in our Montpelier distillery who make tonic the right way - without artificial ingredients or extracts. “I’ve been a skeptic of canned cocktails for a while, but this one is special - and it must be shared,” said Ryan Christiansen, head distiller and president, Barr Hill Gin.

I'm going to VT in the next couple days and can try to remember and report anything if I find some cans while in the area, either the next batch or if these cans are lingering on shelves somehow.Lawson's Finest & Barr Hill Partnership, Available in Vermont Due to New Vermont Ready-to-Drink Law, Signed Into Law By Gov. Also if the canning date is about a month, the next deliveries should be hitting stores soon with the freshies. I can at least confirm having 2 cans of this on two very different weeks it is still amazing and the taste has not dropped off too much from the SOS I had in the past. The info in this thread explains a bit of why this could be the case if Vermont deliveries are from the same batch last month. Same 2/25 dates on those as well and I passed the info to my friend who mentioned everything he has at the moment has the same date. I had heard from others in NH that week about SOS cans being a month old from their recent pick up as well and checked my cans. He had mentioned there has been an easier time getting SOS in Vermont lately and picked it up for me as I had mentioned trying to get some on our trip together but we were unsuccessful. Last weekend on the 27th a friend stops by my house with a 4 pack he bought for me on his trip to VT a day or two prior. Not too bad and I drank it right away so didn't check until after I noticed this. I got a can from a friend who bought some on 3/12 for a can of the second fiddle release when I went up and it was dated 2/25. Hey, just checking in as I noticed the thread.
