After 102 years , York County, South Carolina once again has its own legal* booze maker.opened its doors to the public at the end of January, marking an end to a very long dry spell.
The brothers had originally considered opening a brewery, but after realizing how many breweries were in the area they decided to move on to spirits. Why rum? The pair opened Sleeping Giant with three products. The flagship Silver Rum is 40% ABV and distilled from panela, the unrefined cane sugar common to Central and South America. The semi-sweet Coffee Rum is made with beans from nearby Knowledge Perk, while the Lemongrass and Vanilla Rum Liqueur is back-sweeted with the same panela used to make the spirit.
The distillery is currently open on Fridays and Saturdays for tours and sales. Due to South Carolina law customers can only taste the product when they book a tour, but are welcome to walk in when the distillery is open to purchase a bottle, limited to three bottles per person per day. Tours, with tastings, can be booked on the distillery’s website.
