We had a great time! We really enjoyed the tasting and the person who did it was super friendly and engaging and she was kind and welcoming to our kids. Highly recommend!

The staff are 5-star friendly: made our visit so special. Delicious drinks; the wonderful bartenders help with special cocktails. Great rum tastings, also offering amazingly delicious Rum pecan ice cream sandwiches and boxes of rum balls + pecans. Thank you to the wonderfully attentive staff for a great visit. Recommend for everyone visiting.

Outer Banks Distilling is a true local gem. A local company with great service, and smooth tasty rum. I encourage anyone in the area to make this their go-to spot. Rum flights, tastings, full service bar, and food! Also a cool gift shop. Thanks for a great experience my wife and I loved it

This time to OBX we stayed in Kill Devil Hills. The story goes that Blackbeard had rum buried in the sand dunes of the area so strong it could kill the devil - hence the name - Kill Devil Hills. While in Manteo we learned that there is still rum - Kill Devil Hills Rum made at Outer Banks Distilling in the town we were in - Manteo. We found the distillery, went in and had a few samples followed by bringing some of the rum back home with us. The ingredients of this rum is pure without refined sugar added. It is very good. I also picked up some local honey used in one of their rums. It was great talking to the person who was serving the samples and was also the "main guy" at the distillery. The inside is a fun environment. And, there is a bar where you can get drinks made with their spirits.

Sailor’s Delight is the BEST drink ever! Matt is an excellent mixologist! Need sailors delight in a bottle to take home!

We stopped in here for a tasting and some cocktails. Everything we tasted was great! All three rums, the candied pecans, the molasses, slushes (alcoholic and nonalcoholic), expresso martiki, and honey badger. Great place! Excited to be taking some home with us.

Goodness gracious is this place delicious. Great cocktails in the bar. Great products that can be purchased (liquid and otherwise). Awesome atmosphere. The Honey Pecan Rum is amazing. Also, if you can track down their rum barrel soaked coffee beans at a local store you will be rewarded (we found ours at the Front Porch Cafe). Easily the best flavored coffee I've ever tasted.

We have had the distillery tour in the past, and bought a few bottles of rum for ourselves, but now we are just hanging and drinking craft cocktails at the bar. Tours may restart sometime this summer. Stop in, taste the rum, buy something to take home, or have a great drink, something for everyone!

Top notch distillery with world class talent behind the bar and in the merch store. If you know how to search what your looking for and don't have stupid expectations for "mixed drinks" as a poor reveiwer said before. You've arrived... Enjoy World Class Rum in a great setting. - Jay

Very good small batch Rum. The cocktails are on a whole nother level. Who would’a thought of thyme infused lemon bitters in a cocktail. You gotta try their stuff.

What a great experience last weekend! The tasting was really informative and the owners/employees were so friendly! Loved that we got to meet Teach too! 🥰 The craft cocktails were delicious! Looking forward to our next trip! Craving that Pistachio Painkiller!! Thanks for making our visit such a great time!
