Headed to Charleston, SC

[rndenks]

It has been a while since I have posted. Can you believe I let work and family life get in the way of SB. The nerve.

Any who, I am heading down to Charleston, SC in a couple of weeks. I have searched the web and SB, and it looks like there are some good places to enjoy whiskey in Charleston. If I were willing to shell out some cash it appears Husk is the place to go for any whiskey my heart desires. Although I don’t think I want to pay $50 for a pour of something no matter how evasive it is to find on the shelves. Has anyone visited Boone’s Bar? It also got good reviews for whiskey, although their websites list doesn't look all that impressive. It appears that some of the city bars put together a “bourbon tour” with certain bars to hit to try different bourbons. Although, from their list it appears I could taste most of those in my basement.

So I thought I would tap the great minds here to see if there are any suggested spots to check out.
Also, since I live in a Ohio, a state known for liquor control, I was wondering if SC is any better? Or WV or Virginia for that matter, since I will be passing through those on the drive. Any good liquor stores SB or bourbon friendly in Charleston or along the I-77 corridor between OH and SC?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Husk certainly has the bourbon if you are willing to fork over the money. If you are interested in actually dining at Husk, better make your reservation now rather than waiting until you get there. Husk is incredibly busy. I spent Christmas week in Charleston, and although I don't remember specific names, lots and lots of neat bars and restaurants in the historic section. We stayed at the French Quarter Inn, which I highly recommend. I did visit one liquor store located in the historic district near Broad Street, but it was small and had very little in the way of quality bourbons. Charleston is a neat place, enjoy your visit!
