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.

An Absolutely Magical Experience - Deserves 10 Stars!…read more Olde Raleigh Distillery is an absolute gem! From the moment we arrived, we fell in love with the beautiful setting, welcoming atmosphere, and exceptional hospitality. Everything about this place exceeded our expectations! Haley, the bartender, was absolutely phenomenal! The drinks were amazing, and her recommendations were outstanding. Her friendliness, knowledge, and attention to detail made our experience even more special. Kristy was exceptional! She went above and beyond to help me enroll in the Bourbon Club membership and patiently guided me through the website so I could arrange bourbon shipments for friends. Her kindness and dedication to customer service were truly remarkable. And then there was Roy! The distillery tour with him was nothing short of magical! His passion, knowledge, detailed explanations of the bourbon-making process, and thoughtful recommendations made the entire experience unforgettable. He was instrumental in inspiring me to become a Bourbon Club member! I enjoyed the experience so much that I signed up to receive bourbon every month. I am already looking forward to returning regularly and making the trip from Lillington to Zebulon whenever I can! Haley, Kristy, and Roy, thank you for making our visit so memorable! You are an incredible team, and your passion for what you do truly shines through. Olde Raleigh Distillery has earned a special place in my heart. I cannot recommend it highly enough! If I could give you 10 stars instead of 5, I absolutely would! You have gained a loyal customer and Bourbon Club member for years to come. See you soon!

Five stars for Liberty & Plenty, a true gem that we didn't even plan on visiting. We were headed…read moredown the street to somewhere else, saw the sign, looked at each other and said, "Let's check this out" and I am so glad we followed that impulse because it turned into one of those stops that completely makes your afternoon. What was supposed to be a quick pop in turned into two full hours of socializing, tasting, talking and working our way through a lineup of spirits that dhows just how much care and craft is happening inside this place. I need to say, Stephanie is a darling. She's not a bartender. She's a proper mixologist, the kind of professional who knows her spirits, knows her history, knows how to read a customer, and somehow manages to be both entertaining and deeply knowledgeable at the same time. She walked us through their menu with the kind of confidence that makes you trust every recommendation, and every drink she made had that extra flourish that tells you she actually loves the work. It's rare to find someone who can make you laugh, teach you something, and hand you a drink that's better than what you expected all in the same moment, but she does it effortlessly. Somewhere between the rum and the vodka, we learned that they're gearing up for a big move to Wilson, expanding from two stills to a dozen, which is wild and honestly well deserved because the quality here is already top-tier and the idea of them scaling up that much is exciting. You can feel the ambition from the crew here, the sense that they're on the cusp of something bigger, and it made every sip feel like you're getting in on a story that's about to blow up. That said, I'm begging. Please, please, please, find a way to keep a tasting room in Durham. You're awesome, the vibe is awesome, the people are awesome, and this city needs places like this where you can wander in on a whim and end up staying for two hours because everything feels and tastes just right. Expansion is great, growth is great, Wilson is lucky to have you, but Durham will really miss you if you disappeared completely. Liberty & Plenty is the kind of spot you stumble into once and then start recommending to everyone you know. If you're anywhere nearby, go. And if Stephanie is behind the bar, settle in, because you're in very good hands. [Review 1073 of 2026 - 4782 in North Carolina - 26252 overall]

It was like a lighter more refreshing take of a Bloody Mary. If you like Bloody Mary drinks, pretty sure you'll like the Tomatoni. Plus, service was friendly and attentive.
