Fodor's Expert Review Durham Distillery

This small craft distillery is racking up national and international awards for its Conniption American dry and navy-strength gins, as well as its cold-distilled cucumber vodka and Damn Fine Liqueurs made in collaboration with Raleigh’s Videri Chocolate and Slingshot Coffee Company. The intimate tasting room is open on the weekends for quick tastes and for more involved behind-the-scenes tours that give you a look at the unique two-step distillation process. Downstairs, the Corpse Reviver bar, with its velvety blue lounge seating, is a new hot spot for craft cocktails showing off the best iterations of the products made upstairs.
