You step through a plain door off Azalea Drive and the room changes — warm light, copper stills on a compact floor, a bartender who feels more like family. The Striped Pig Distillery occupies a small industrial corner of Charleston's coastal plain where rice fields once fed the port; the tasting room vibrates with local voices and the scent of toasted grain.
