Durham Distillery is leading a gin renaissance in the South and has been voted one of the best gins in the world. Led by scientist team Melissa and Lee Katrincic, the pair combines traditional gin-making methods with modern-day chemistry to create spirits and liqueurs that are both classic and fresh. The beautifully bottled Conniption Gin is distilled in a custom-designed German copper pot still for the ultimate crisp taste and clean flavor profile. Try their spirits at Corpse Reviver, the adjoining cocktail bar owned by the Katrincics, Corpse Reviver, or at plenty of restaurants and bars in Durham. Visit their distillery for a tour.
Loved this distillery! The weekend bartenders took such great care of us! They were so knowledgeable and taught us so much while we sampled our flight.
The gin was so good too, I loved that you could smell each ingredient as they kept them on the counter. We loved them so much that when we got home we ordered a bottle (we flew with carryons, otherwise we would have bought bottles there). The canned gin and tonics were FANTASTIC too.
I highly recommend visiting.

Had a fantastic afternoon with friends touring and tasting. I didn’t not know much about gin and came away with an appreciation for each of the 4 types that are made here. Definitely worth going and i look forward to trying some new gin cocktails from the bottles i purchased.

The tour is a fun experience, lots of good info about infusing botanicals and how that process works. The company purchases 95 proof ethanol and infuses flavors on-site. Tour includes samples of all their bottled products. Could be improved by including free cocktail.

Felicia is one of the coolest people I’ve ever met. I wish I lived in Durham because I’d be here all the time. Best gin in the country. Bethany was awesome too. I wish I could stay here all day. If you can’t visit here then go to the ABC in NC and buy their gin.

Highly recommend this tour. Groupon deal for 4 was $26 and a great value for the number of gin and liquer tastings, plus the free shot glass. Tour guide was great as well.

Felicia gave a great tour. Very informative and they offered the right amount of samples. Great vibe. We loved the 4 pack of gin and tonic we drank when we got home.
