Sip Liberty & Plenty's Slate Belt Vodka, Bronze Bull Whiskey and Rye, Cap & Cane Rum and more with cocktails mixed feet from the source. The distillery occupies a space adjacent to The Rickhouse event space on Foster Street and offers a welcoming outdoor patio with comfortable seating and occasional live music. Owner Tina Williford earned her expertise at Scotland's renowned Heriot-Watt University and joins the estimated one percent of female-owned distilleries in the US. The distillery has plans to produce rum, whiskey, gin and flavored vodkas. There's a cocktail bar that shares the same space as the distillery with a menu featuring original creations based on seasonal ingredients while also paying homage to timeless classics and local suppliers.
I purchased the smoothest and most refreshing vodka ever at the Wrightsville Beach ABC store tonight called Liberty and Plenty. It was on display with a company representative. Despite skipping the taste test and going straight to my go-to Tito's, the bottle design and name "Liberty and Plenty" were so creative and cool -imo- that I added it to my Tito's purchase during checkout. I'm glad I did.

We met the owners, Tina and Mark at the Hot Sauce festival in Oxford. We had not heard of this distillery in Durham and decided to stop in on the way back home. We were warmly greeted and did a tasting with Joy. Joy is very knowledgeable about all their spirits and they have quite a selection. The interior space is cute and decorated with nice artwork and comfy chairs. They have a small outdoor patio and had a local jazz musician on Sunday. Speaking of Sundays, because they are a distillery, you can buy bottles of their spirits to take home with you. There is paid parking across the street. Can't wait to check out their new location in Wilson in 2025.

Excellent spirits. We did a tasting. We bought their rye and the spiced rum. Joy is very knowledgeable. Joy rocks. Tina the owner stopped by to chat with us. Parking is across the street. 6$ for an hour. Very friendly and chill place. Music is not loud.

The bartender was very knowledgeable and friendly. The bar was cozy, and they had non alcoholic options as well, which was a huge plus. I definitely will be going back.

Incredible distillery with well designed spirits and knowledgeable and friendly family ownership. Excellent spirits paired with expert made cocktails. Highly recommended. Rumor has it a sherry menu may be coming and if you enjoy great wine products you’ll want to sprint here for it. Their gin - newly released - has well thought out botanicals. Attached is a picture.

This is an awesome place to visit in the downtown Durham area. The customer service is great and so are their drinks.

Our drinks were killer, and we liked the setup inside, which was pretty intimate with nice decor.
