"text": "Just realized I have never reviewed the durham distillery on google, but I do suggest it to many people. I have not had a product I dislike, and have tried most if not all of them between personal purchases, the cocktail classes, and being a part of the distillers experience. The don't fear the reaper vodka, coffee liqueur and white dog black strap are some of my favourites.\n\nChris and everyone else I have come across through the distillery provides such great information, suggestions and cocktail ideas. Highly recommended!",

It’s great as a shot for the brave and even better as the vodka in your spicy Caesar! You have to visit this place!",

In between each drink we had some great nibbles. Loved hearing about the history of the distillery and all of the products they make. Even got to shop and take a few treats home so I can make the drinks at home. Thanks for a great night out - right here in Durham!!!",
