While the location is a little out of the way (15 minutes from downtown Raleigh heading towards Knightdale) and a little oddly located, inside a warehouse on Corporation Parkway; the RUM speaks for itself! And boy is it tasty. I will admit, I know much more about beer than spirits/liquor but I do know in general what I like and don't like. This is one of THE best rums I've tasted: smooth, easy to drink with a splash of lime and LOCAL! The 30-45 minute tour takes place every Saturday currently at 2pm. This is a great day-time activity for a local, but I don't think I'd say a must for a tourist. You can stop here in the afternoon for a tour, Q&A and tasting and head towards downtown for additional afternoon/evening adventures. DEFINITELY try the rum by itself first (with a slice of lime). The offer several cocktail combinations in addition to trying their product straight post-tour on Saturday's. Unfortunately they were out of the hand-crafted mojito "mix", but I could see this rum pairing nicely with some lime, mint, agave & a splash of tonic. I wasn't a huge fan of the rum punch, but I usually like my alcohol to speak for itself and rum is already a sweeter liquor because of the molasses [or sugar] base. Raleigh Rum paired nicely with coke, but honestly, my favorite was just straight [I DON'T say that often!]. Round out your tour with a souvenir: $10 t-shirts and $5 labeled glasses. Spiced Raleigh Rum coming soon AND, after October 1st, they'll be able to sell a bottle to your AT the distillery! Hurray (this goes for all distilleries in the area, new legislation!!) Look for Raleigh Rum Company products in an ABC store near you!

A free tour and tasting every Saturday at 2PM, how exciting! The tour itself is not very long, Raleigh Rum Company and Oak City Amaretto share a production space so we were able to hear about both. I wish the Oak City Amaretto piece was a tad more about the process though. After the tour we were able to sample the rums [white, dark, spiced and carolina reaper] and amaretto. All of these were fantastic, we were able to purchase a few of our favorites before departing.

While in Raleigh we had to check out the local Rum Company. Great space and a great tour. Their story is short since they are still new to the distillery game. The rum is smooth, the white rum, the spiced rum, the dark rum. Wonderful distinct flavor. They even let us try a rum they are currently working on - a poblano pepper rum. I can't wait for that to hit the ABC stores. It's spicy all the way down. Silly warm heat! These guys have their 3 rums in many ABC stores around NC. Don't hesitate to try the local stuff, you won't be disappointed in the least. Take the tour! They'll make you a drink and show you what they are doing so well. Creating beautiful rum!

Think garage when in visioning this place. But don't let that dissuade you from doing the tour! The guys that run this place are SUPER nice and knowledgeable! We came for the tour and we're able to try a sample of rum punch, rum and coke or rum mojito. I got rum punch and hubbie got the mojito. Both were great! The rum is very nice and I personally think some of the best I had....totally need to make some rum balls! So, some Saturday at 2, come take a tour and get a sample! Free, and a great learning experience! Then go buy their rum and get to creating!

Love The Raleigh Rum Company!!

The Raleigh Rum Company offers a free tour every Saturday at 2:00. We went today and had an awesome time! They let you sample both their white rum and their spiced rum and they serve either a mojito, fruit drink, or a rum and Coke. All three were delicious!! NC law allows you to purchase one bottle of rum from them directly once per year. Every person in our group went home with a bottle! They also have Cornhole out front and an oversized Jenga set inside. They sell glasses, shirts, and offer free stickers with their badass logo on them. It's definitely worth grabbing a group of friends and spending a Saturday afternoon there. We will be back soon!!

Came in because it was a Yelp event. They gave us a tour and their ethos. Bought some amaretto. Free tasting on saturdays 2-3pm.

You don't have to like the heat because they also have spiced, sweet, and white rum, which were also good.

Pinetop Distillery is located roughly 5 minutes from Downtown Raleigh in Dock 1053 next to Lynnwood…read moreBrewing Concern. Tours are $10 and are available each Saturday from 1-5 PM on the half hour. You get two generous pours of both liquors, gin and moonshine, and a short tour of their facility (it is a very small space). On the tour we learned that pine top is an old nickname for moonshine which was interesting. Pinetop shirts are available to purchase and so are home-aging kits (this includes an oak barrel and a bottle of their moonshine which is the perfect gift idea).

Okay everyone, if you haven't checked out Pinetop Distillery, you should reverse your plans & check…read moreit out!! This is the first local craft distillery inside the beltline in the Loading Dock in Raleigh (only 5 minutes from downtown)! It's a locally owned distillery that uses all locally sourced products from local farmers to spice up their distillation process. The tour is awesome too because Tom knows so much about the process & you can tell he's passionate about bringing these craft liquors to Raleigh. Also, I loved the little tastes at the end. Surprisingly I'm now a huge gin fan - thanks Pinetop! Admittedly I don't know as much about distilling moonshine or gins, but they've got it down pat! The gin doesn't have that strong juniper taste, and it's so smooth! The moonshine was great too, not too strong either... loved it. What's even cooler: they're making holiday bourbon barrels that you can age your gin/moonshine to impart the oak & sweetness into the booze to turn it into a bourbon.... who doesn't love a little DIY bourbon project?! Such a great gift for people!! I'm stoked to try it out :) Love their tshirts too! All in all, Pinetop Distillery makes some great products & their brewery is definitely worth checking out... you'll learn a little, taste a bit, and buy up to 5 bottles to take with you (without having to go to the ABC store)!!!

What a lovely surprise to find this gem tucked away in downtown Durham! I had heard great things…read moreabout their espresso martini, so when we finally visited, we had to try it. And, it truly lived up to the hype. One of the best we've ever had! I also tried two other cocktails made with their house-distilled rum and gin, and both were delicious and perfectly balanced. The seasonal menu is creative and reasonably priced, we were genuinely impressed. The ambiance is charming and cozy despite a bit warm inside (the AC was pretty weak), but quiet and tastefully decorated with velvet couches, exposed walls, vintage touches, and fresh flowers on each table. We had fun flipping through their amazing cocktail book collection on the shelf too. The bartenders were very friendly and offered us focaccia from Ninth Street Bakery to pair with our drinks for free, which was such a thoughtful and tasty addition. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience and are so happy to see a micro-distillery thriving in the heart of Durham. Can't wait to return for an official tour and to sample more of their spirits!

Really fun cocktail bar- that specializes in rums! First impression- I called ahead to see if our…read moredog was allowed to sit on the outside patio, and they told me not only is she allowed, but we aren't allowed to come without her. That response will get a smile every time. Super dog-friendly, to say the least, both outside and inside. Outside has several tables under a covered area, and inside has a few couches (with tiny tables) and a long bar you can sit at. We've been a few times now, and the service is super friendly and helpful, every time. It's small and intimate inside, but we never have a problem finding a seat! I love that they have snacks you can help yourself to, in airtight jars at the bar (peanut butter filled pretzels, sour worms, etc). Also important to note- the inside is NOT air conditioned. We stopped in on a HOT day, and it's brutal inside, with cloth couches and just one small fan. Love this bar, all of their cocktails (wine available too), and all of the staff! Will be back (a lot)!!
