Why Is It So Expensive to Drink Cocktails in North Carolina? - Eater Carolinas
"Durham Distillery, located in Durham, North Carolina, is a craft distillery regulated by the state's ABC system. They produce award-winning gin and face challenges with the state's control over liquor sales, including high excise taxes and warehousing fees. Despite this, they maintain a good relationship with the local Durham ABC board, which supports them by providing shelf space." - Matt Lardie
