There's a lot to see in this little distillery. Admire the beautiful and sustainable repurposed design of Olde Raleigh, from its handcrafted bar to its cocktail table whiskey barrels. Explore the barrel room and discover the way that everything from wood to weather can transform flavor. Enlighten your knowledge of spirits and learn the basics of distilling and the art of blending. And last, but certainly not least, end your tour with a taste of Olde Raleigh’s newest, unique blended batch.
