We visited High Wire Distilling on Monday evening when we were in Charleston for a few days. Whiskey made with red corn sounded intriguing, so we came in to try some of their spirits. The staff was welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable about all their whiskies. We got two flights and tasted 6-8 different spirits. The Abruzzi Rye whiskey was one of our favorites, but we ended up going home with a bottle of the Sherry Cask Finish. We loved how sophisticated and complex it was on the palate. I thought the Jimmy Red Classic was very sippable. The Single Barrel Cask was a nice and spicy. I also liked their Hat Trick Botanical Gin.

Not a fan of your smoked jimmy red, harsh profile taste. Won’t but again

Go here!! If you're in Charleston and want a distillery that is actually making good stuff, meant to be enjoyed and explored and not just buried in an artificial cocktail, this is the place. After being very disappointed at another local distillery, we went here and got a flight, cocktail and snack. I immediately bought two bottles and took the tour. Katie did a great job explaining things simply as well as giving nerdy details. We will come back here every time we're in the area.

James Beard Award drew me to this place. And they had it right. Absolutely loved the bourbon. The place, the distillery is impeccable. We went just before evening and were serviced by two lady bartenders who were very knowledgeable, kind and got their recommendations absolutely spot on 💯We tried the flights and then a boulvadier- loved the detail that for the cocktails most of the ingredients they try to get the best ones and sometimes end up making themselves. Place deserves more reviews, respect and more 💕. The bourbon is a must purchase - $78 a bottle

Excellent service and product! Highly recommend. Their product also makes a great whiskey sour, sazarac, and old fashioned! They use Johnny Red corn and have exclusive rights to it. Impressive process.

This place has it all, I’m so glad we stopped in! Mike was an excellent tour guide and taught us so much about the distilling process. Very high quality spirits, creative cocktails, and the bar bites were delicious.
Great spirits and cocktails. The bartender was also really friendly.

We had the pleasure of participating in the monthly cocktail class...what a wonderful experience! The setting was fabulous and the team very entertaining and informative. Light snacks were delicious. The drinks highlighted the spirits beautifully..and, yes, we are going home with a full selection. Bartending staff were so sweet and made the best hot toddy I have ever had. Looking forward to our next visit!

Solid distillery. Was not very busy when we visited. Solid selection of mixed drinks and tastings. Solid vibe overall with fair prices.

Great afternoon here! Jay was a knowledgeable host and bartender. Even though it wasn’t tour day, we got lots of local info and filled in about the distillery. The Jimmy Red whisky flavor profile is very different due to the unique grain they use. The cornbread skillet appetizer was beyond good. Spend an hour or 2 here.
