A refreshingly modern and sophisticated Gin.

Founded in 2013, Durham Distillery is the fruit of love. No, seriously, it was opened by a loving married couple Melissa and Lee Katrincic who had the brilliant idea of bringing together art and science and rethinking how traditional Gin can exist in modern times. They were the first distillers in the United States to leverage vacuum cold distillation with rotary evaporators. It’s things like that that got Melissa and Lee to become the first distillers from the American South to be inducted into the Gin Guild in London. Today, their Conniption Gins are one of the most awarded in the country. Bringing together time-honored Gin distillation techniques and modern chemistry, the result showcases the complexity and quality of each ingredient. The Katrincic couple is serious about their Gin: these two even founded the United States Gin Association in 2021 to promote passion for Gin among US distillers.

Conniption American Dry Gin fuses traditional small-batch distillation with modern lab methods. The botanicals like Indian coriander, angelica root, and cardamom are vapor infused in their custom-deisgned German pot still before cucumber, citrus, and honeysuckle flowers are vacuum distilled individually at room temperature. You want to know about the result? Clean, crisp, and complex, the flavor profile if refreshingly modern and sophisticated. This one’s got plenty of awards to show off, too, including Silver at the prestigious San Francisco World Competition, Gold at World Gin Awards, Silver at IWSC…
