Featured Image: attadrink

Just like craft breweries, micro-distilleries are popping up all over the Palmetto State. In 2017, the state legislature passed a law allowing distilleries to serve mixed drinks in their tasting rooms, letting patrons try a variety of products and pick their favorite to try in a cocktail. Check out our favorite micro-distilleries around the state!

Dark Corner Distillery

This downtown Greenville micro-distillery is quite popular amongst locals and visitors alike. Specializing in moonshine, gin and whiskey, Dark Corner is a great place to take a tour or try one of their unique tasting experiences the next time you’re in the Greenville-Spartanburg Area.

Hilton Head Distillery

If you’re in the mood for a drink while staying on or near Hilton Head Island, check out Dark Corner’s sister distillery, Hilton Head Distillery. Offering tours of the production facility, as well as several different tasting options and even a cozy lounge for non-drinkers, this is a great place to try if you’re looking for a fun distillery experience.

Firefly Distillery

Located 30 minutes outside of Charleston on Wadmalaw Island, Firefly Distillery is well known for its spirits including their Original Sweet Tea Vodka, the world’s first of its kind. Even though it’s off the beaten path, fans of distilleries will certainly feel it is worth the trip.

Charleston Distilling Company

Previously located in downtown Charleston on King Street, Charleston Distilling Company is relocating to James Island and is set to reopen in October. With a $4.2 million investment in a new 10,000-square-foot facility, this popular Charleston distillery is here to stay. Specializing in vodka, gin and rye, this is a great spot for those interested in tours, tastings, or just a good old fashioned cocktail.
