Our 20,000 square foot campus is a historical and educational communal destination for locals and tourists alike to learn about distilling and the rich history of our surroundings while discovering and enjoying unique and flavorful spirits. Our Founders – If Billy J. Watterson is known as the brains behind Burnt Church Distillery, Sean Watterson would be the hands. A true entrepreneur, Billy has founded many brands over the past 20 years. When he discovered the Lowcountry in 2002, he was enamored with its aura of ease, southern hospitality, and true, inherent beauty. His love for this place and its deep-rooted traditions is what moved him to his latest endeavor – a distillery. Sean is a self-taught Renaissance Man, a modern-day jack-of-all-trades. He balances the art and science of distilling with pure heart and soul – crafting each spirit so perfectly, even the most sophisticated whiskey connoisseurs are impressed. Both Watterson brothers are passionate about crafting authentic Lowcountry spirits that honor the history of the South Carolina Lowcountry and give back to its communities. Our hope is to make a heartfelt impact on all who are eager to learn and taste.
