High Wire Distilling

Charleston


A bright downtown tasting room where you take shots of small-batch gin, whiskey, vodka and amaro, right in a row. Tasty cocktails are also available, and the 'bee's knees' (with botanical gin, lemon, honey and lavender) is a doozy.

Tours of the distillery run Tuesday through Saturday every hour (on the hour) from 11am to 6pm. Make a reservation.
