Striped Pig Distillery

Johnny was a great host. We had a awesome time. The spiced rum was fantastic. Looking forward to hearing some great things about the Striped Pig in the future.

Great venue! Tried the cranberry gin cocktail and it was delicious (holiday special). The owners were very nice and décor is cool.

My girlfriends and I visited for my bachelorette party. We had the time of our lives here. It is a MUST.

I visited Striped Pig yesterday for the Unilocal Holiday Party. I absolutely loved the space, the gift shop entrance, the bar in the distillery and the super funny, friendly and approachable staff.
Thoroughly enjoyed their Gin cocktail that evening– Striped Pig Gin, cranberry juice, ginger and simple syrup. Delicious.
Ive heard nothing but good things from people who have taken tours, and I totally plan to take one myself :) very soon I hope.

I will start this off by saying I was only here once for the elite event, so this will likely be updated after future visits but I did want to write something about our great experience with the staff and product!
The distillery itself is very cool. The entrance holds a bunch of charleston guides and SP merchandise. There’s a little room with a bar and some tables which wasn’t open when we were there but the staff member opened it for us so we could try some samples. It was really cool with windowed walls that looked out into the distillery which had a warehouse type feel.
Now, I have to say, the small staff was very friendly and very knowledgable about the liquor. We tried the gin at the event in a cranberry juice with some ginger flavor and it was very nice. My fiancé and I are 100% whiskey people so naturally that is what we were interested in. The woman that helped us told us their whiskey wasn’t ready but they had the rum. Rum is the one liquor that neither my fiancé nor I can stand drinking. We told her that we very much dislike it. She said it was a bit different with some spices and flavored etc. I said that sounds interesting but there’s no way I’d just buy it without knowing what it tastes like. This is when she opened the closed room and offered us samples. I don’t think I need to explain any further than saying that the couple that hates rum went home with a thirty some dollar fifth of the stuff.

I absolutely adored this distillery, and want to get the word out to everybody that this place is an absolute must to visit in the charleston area. The owners were so down to earth and hospitable. They let us sample each wonderfully –crafted spirit, then took us on tour and described the whole process. It was a fun learning experience.

Off the beaten path, but well worth it. We had a really fun tasting and tour on a Friday afternoon. Everyone we encountered at Striped Pig was very friendly, knowledgeable and passionate about what they’re doing. All of the products that we tried were delicious (my gin-​hating husband really liked their unusual lavendar/​orange gin) and we came home with a bottle of their Spiced Rum. We will definitely bring out of town visitors here.

Wonderful place. Spend some time with Johnny for a tasting. Pick from the bag if you have a good sense of humor. Loved the atmosphere and the entertainment.

Awesome distillery. Came for a tour on my visit, but turned out they were closed. But they decided to give us a tour anyway!!! It was a fun detailed tour. They are doing amazing things at the Striped Pig. The liquor tastes awesome and unique can’t believe they’re only 2 years old.

We went down on a Saturday to check out this distillery and we were greeted graciously! The tour and our time with Johnny the owner was a blast! Now we associate Striped Pig vodka and gin with a great time, along with a top quality product.
You must do this tour! It is worth the time for sure!!!

Didn’t know about this distillery until I saw a post on Facebook. Then I knew I had to check it out. We went Saturday and it wS the best part of our weekend. The tour, while small in area, was really fascinating and very interesting to see and learn the process.
The tasting was AWESOME. The gin, vodka, rum and a couple of others were phenomenal. I’m new to gin and have come to live it and was excited to purchase a bottle of theirs.
The guy who did the tasting and tour was so knowledgable. It was very impressive at what he knew about the history of liquor, prohibition and their local competitors. He was so funny and made the trip to the facility worth it and we now have plans to take my nephew, my sister and any others we have that come to visit us.
A MUST do

Johnny was an amazing host. His passion for his industry is contagious and is captured in the knowledge and enthusiasm he displays in his product. Jim was also very welcoming in showing us the product. Their distillery tour and tasting is well worth the $ 5 you will spend. I would definitely recommend this place to all my friends in the area.
We went on 3:30 on a Friday and were able to sit back and have a sampling of each of the spirits Striped Pig creates with Johnny, as he gave us a story to go along with each small shot. Along with another couple, We were then taken on a tour in which I learned a lot of interesting tidbits of information. We were even allowed to label and sign a few of the whiskey bottles. A crowd did roll in around 6, so I would recommend coming a little earlier to get the best experience.

This is one of Charleston’s best new hidden gems. I came to Striped Pig distillery today with the hubby and we were treated to a complimentary tasting of vodka, rum, and moonshine: all of which is distilled on property.
We walked up to the front door and were greeted by their ambassador, a huge friendly Golden Retriever. As we walked in a very nice lady named Jules welcomed us into the tasting room and gave us a great complimentary tasting.
We were then escorted back to the distilling area for a tour by a very passionate and knowledgeable distill master. He explained the entire distilling process from grain to corked and labeled bottles ready to ship. They even hand-​apply, sign and number EVERY bottle by hand! When our tour was over, I was actually sad to leave, BUT we did not go empty-​handed. I now have a great bottle of Striped Pig Rum front and center in my bar!
While the whole operation is quite quite small, and the tour is pretty quick, you get a sense that these guys really know what they are doing. You also here in their voices and see on their faces the absolute passion and dedication that they have for their craft.
Charleston is a finer city for having Striped Pig Distillery in it!!!

Cool Place — free tours and tastings. It’s a small distillery so don’t expect a sprawling operation. They did a great job explaining the process and answered all questions. Took about 45 minutes. You can buy some of their goods (we picked up a bottle of thier rum), hats, T shirts etc at the end. Worth a visit!

The folks over at Striped Pig are a great bunch. I was lucky enough to get a couple tours of the place and do some sampling before they even opened. From the outside it just looks like a big warehouse down the strange alley in North Chuck but, once you walk through the door the smells transport you to a boozy paradise. The combination of the wood and liquor creates a musky flavor that lingers in the air.
The tour is pretty short consider most of the action takes place in the warehouse with all the tanks and barrels but it’s pretty cool to check out. They also have a tasting area and a gift shop type area where you can taste and purchase some to bring home. One of the gift items is a personalized mini barrel that you can fill with booze and gift to a spirit loving pal or keep for yourself.
They also offer up their conference room as a meeting space for free. All you have to do is reserve it. Pretty sure the host larger event for free in the distillery as well. Keep an eye out for Jackson. The official striped pig. He’s often out and about at marketing type events/​parties and he’s adorable.
