Ep. 164: Burnt Church Distillery with Chris Crowe
My First Visit to South Carolina - And It Was Gold
Have you had any whiskey from South Carolina? No? Me neith...wait, yes, yes I have! Well, that's a bit facetious - by the time this comes out, I will have tried High Wire's Jimmy Red, too, but let's say the Carolinas weren't on my shelf before these bottles showed up to try.
In this episode of the Whiskey Ring Podcast, we venture into uncharted territory as we explore the low country of South Carolina. My guest is Chris Crowe, the President of Burnt Church Distillery, located in Bluffton, South Carolina, near Hilton Head. Chris shares the fascinating story behind the distillery, its unique location, and the rich history and culture that influence their craft.
The story of Burnt Church Distillery has nothing to do with a church burning (seriously, they've looked into it), but it's fair to say there's plenty of smoke and a fire to pay attention to. Burnt Church tells the stories of its town - Bluffton - and the people whose stories emanate from its own. Anita Pollitzer, George Palmer, and the eponymous Bluffton Whiskey, all embody a distillery that has already found its voice and one to watch.
They got their distilling start at Jeptha Creed, but soon they'll be fully transitioned to all in-house distillate (it was still their recipes and such, just contracted there). I think the whiskies right now are solid, but with a very high ceiling and room to grow. They've got some big names to live up to, and soon enough I think they will. In the meantime, try some Carolina Gold Rice whiskey - seriously, new flavor profile for me, and damn delicious.
Thanks everyone for listening, and thank you to Chris for entering the Whiskey Ring!
