6 North Carolina Small-Batch Distilleries Worth Tapping Into - Eater Carolinas
"“Born of our love for craft beer and cocktails,” Raleigh Rum Company hit the scene in 2014 by the hands of three North Carolina natives — partners Matt Grossman, John Benefiel and Chris Mendler — with a dream to fill the hole in the market and bring top-notch craft rum to the market. The hometown rum distiller now offers its handmade hot selections — literally, like Carolina Reaper Rum, as well as its premium white rum, spiced rum and sweet dark rum — in local ABC stores in the NC section. For safe and socially distanced tastings and tours (masks required), abbreviated hours are currently Saturday from 1 to 5 p.m. (with bottle sales, including limited release Procrastinator’s Reserve). Or, email info@ralieghrumcompany.com to schedule a curbside pickup" - Melissa Howsam
