Brothers Billy and Sean Watterson opened this unique distillery out of a love for the Lowcountry with all its beauty and hospitality.
Naming the distillery after the well-known Burnt Church Road in Old Town Bluffton, Billy and Sean make the most of this connection to the town and its history… and its mysteries. They even took on a research project and had a book written about local history and the truth behind how Burnt Church Road got its name.
At Burnt Church Distillery every fine, quality spirit they create has its own story to tell–just like the road, the town, the Lowcountry itself. Crafted for the discerning palate, the drinks here also engage the mind, with names that draw you down the road of history.
