We met the owners, Tina and Mark at the Hot Sauce festival in Oxford. We had not heard of this distillery in Durham and decided to stop in on the way back home. We were warmly greeted and did a tasting with Joy. Joy is very knowledgeable about all their spirits and they have quite a selection. The interior space is cute and decorated with nice artwork and comfy chairs. They have a small outdoor patio and had a local jazz musician on Sunday. Speaking of Sundays, because they are a distillery, you can buy bottles of their spirits to take home with you. There is paid parking across the street. Can't wait to check out their new location in Wilson in 2025.

Have walked past this place 100+ times and never came in until tonight, where we attended a private event for a friend’s birthday.
Exceptional and creative mocktails, locally distilled spirits, and deeply enthusiastic staff who accommodated every request we had. We couldn’t have had a better time with a group of 25 people anywhere else in Durham.
Can’t wait to go back for another outing with friends or a date night. -
Lovely bar—the most thoughtfully curated cocktail menu, and Will the bartender was incredible (warm, knowledgeable). The bitter blossom spritz was especially complex & delightful. Highly recommend! Patio & indoor seating.

Love the vibe! Their vodka was excellent. We left with a bottle of their grapefruit vodka. They offer complimentary snacks with a flight tasting which is another bonus. Great flavor combinations in their cocktails

This place is an absolute gem. The bar is not big, but packs a delicious punch. I highly recommend a drink with the overproof rum or their french oak bourbon straight up. If you can't make up your mind, don't worry. They give free samples of their liquor (in communion cups and I love them for that). I had some free local foccacia to snack on, so be sure ask. Their bourbon cream is also to die for. And I hope you get Stephanie behind the bar. She is fantastic and highly knowledgeable. No notes. This place is great.
