Review: Burnt Church Bluffton Whiskey
The road of the American craft whiskey movement was paved by craft beer. The spirit of craft beer and whiskey are similar, but in their respective infancies, they were not exactly equal. Craft beer was a response to a rather bland and homogenous beer industry. Craft beer needed to exist because “big beer” was uninspiring. Craft whiskey was born of the desire to drink local and innovate, but “big whiskey” was far from bland or uninspiring. Mass-produced homogenous beer is only something I’ll consume if it’s the only option at a wedding reception. It was merely a few years ago craft whiskey was only something I’d purchase when trying to keep dollars in my local community, fully realizing that “big whiskey” was just much better in quality. That bottle of craft booze I took home to support local sat on my shelf for years, never to be touched again.
