Rich, Refined, and Rested to Perfection
Some spirits are aged to soften. This one is aged to stand out. Conniption Barrel Aged Gin is an invitation to slow down, savor, and celebrate the moments worth toasting — whether it's a small personal victory, a conversation that lingers, or a well-earned pause at the end of the day.
Rested to perfection in High West Whiskey bourbon barrels, this gin takes on layers of warm spice, caramelized citrus, and oak-kissed depth, resulting in a gin that sips like a fine whiskey and mixes like a modern classic. Crafted with a pioneering dual-distillation process, it blends time-honored techniques with cutting-edge science, proving that tradition is best honored when it's reimagined.
It starts with a vapor-distilled foundation of juniper, caraway, and bright lemon, delivering a bold and aromatic opening. Then, we introduce cold vacuum-distilled figs, adding a soft, plummy richness that rounds out the palate. As it rests in bourbon barrels, the spirit deepens, soaking in notes of vanilla, toasted oak, and a touch of rye spice, creating a beautifully structured finish that lingers long after the last sip.
More than just a barrel-aged gin, Conniption Barrel Aged stands as the benchmark of excellence, named Best Matured Gin in the U.S. by the World Gin Awards.

Conniption Barrel Aged Gin Product Reviews
Let customers speak for us
We fell in love with Krupnikas years ago after touring the Durham Distillery and since have offered it to friends and family, especially during the holidays. My sister in law says it tastes like “Christmas in a glass”! Thanks to you we can now send it to share when we can’t be together here locally sharing the sweetness and warmth of the season.
I just tried the conniption American gin. Wow it is wonderful! Full of botanicals, well balanced, and delightful!
The best gin I know of. Superbly formulated for the best taste. I highly recommend Conniption American Dry gin for your favorite cocktail or drink. :)
Barrel Aged is one of my absolute favorites! It’s unique, flavorful, and deliciously smooth; best enjoyed on the rocks 😉. 10/10 Must Try!!!
Introduced to me a few years ago when distilled by originators Brothers Vilgalys Spirits Company, this is a most excellent liqueur. It reminds me much of the spiced Christmas meads from my birth country England and which I have made myself successfully! The perfect companion for after supper on a cold night! 😊
This gin is so clean and so incredibly strong (in the best way possible). Highly recommend.
Was visiting family in Durham over the summer and went to a tasting.... got on the list for the release this past November - stunningly good!
Conniption produces consistently smooth and depth-filled gins. They never let you down.
Conniption Gin from Durham Distillery is a real treat for gin lovers. It’s smooth, with bright notes of cucumber and a touch of fig, giving it a fresh, modern twist that’s perfect for cocktails or sipping straight. The team at Durham Distillery clearly knows what they’re doing, and you can taste the quality in every sip. Over at Corpse Reviver Cocktail Lounge, they mix up some of the best gin cocktails I've had. The cozy vibe and friendly bartenders make it a great spot to relax and try something new. Definitely worth a visit if you're in Durham
I don’t love most gins but this was delicious! I made my husband and I so many cocktails but my favorite was probably using this in a French 75. I will definitely purchase again!
