Charleston Distilling Co. | Craft Spirits & Distillery Tours | Johns Island, SC
Charleston Distilling Co. is more than a distillery — it’s a destination. Located on scenic Johns Island, we invite you to experience the craft firsthand in our spacious tasting room. Surrounded by gleaming copper stills and soaring ceilings, guests can sample our handcrafted spirits or relax outdoors by the fire pit with a cocktail in hand.
Our commitment to quality begins with the land itself. We source our grains locally and manage every step of production — from milling and mashing to fermentation and distillation — right here on-site. This farm-to-bottle approach ensures that the unique character of the Lowcountry shines through in every batch.
Whether you’re joining a tour to see the process up close or simply unwinding with friends and a bite from a local food truck, Charleston Distilling Co. offers a true taste of South Carolina hospitality — where craftsmanship, community, and the spirit of the Lowcountry come together.
We started Charleston Distilling Co. in 2011 with a simple belief: the best spirits come from the best ingredients, and the best ingredients come from the land around you. We chose Johns Island deliberately — fifteen minutes from downtown Charleston and a world away from the noise.
We're a working distillery, not a marketing operation. We source grain from South Carolina farms, mill it on-site, and handle every step ourselves — mashing, fermenting, distilling, bottling — all under one roof in our 10,000 square foot facility on Meeks Farm Road.
Our tasting room is the gathering place we always wanted: a 2,100 square foot space where you can slow down, taste what we've made, and see how it's done.
