On this week's episode of The Whiskey Trip Podcast, Big Chief takes listeners on a ride to North Conway, New Hampshire, to visit Cathedral Ledge Distillery and sit down with owner and head distiller Christopher Burk. Set against the backdrop of the White Mountains, Cathedral Ledge is known for its certified-organic spirits, its respect for the land, and the clean, hands-on approach Christopher and his wife, Kara, bring to every bottle.

In the first half of the conversation, Big Chief and Christopher talk about the distillery's foundation through their Organic Straight Bourbon Whiskey and Organic Straight Rye Whiskey. Christopher explains how these spirits helped shape the identity of Cathedral Ledge and how his engineering background and commitment to quality guide each step of the process.

In the second half, the focus shifts to their Bottle in Bond Wheated Bourbon and their Cask Strength Bourbon Whiskey. Christopher shares how New Hampshire's climate influences his aging philosophy and how these two expressions reflect the distillery's growth and future direction.

Throughout the episode, one thing remains clear: Cathedral Ledge is built on intention and integrity. All of their spirits are certified gluten-free, a testament to their clean production methods and dedication to transparency. Big Chief closes the ride reflecting on how the land, the craft, and Christopher's passion come together to create a distillery with a story as bold as its whiskey.
