This coming Thursday, lovers of the “brown water” will converge at 701 Whaley for the 6th Annual Great American Whiskey Fair. Originated in 2013 by Bourbon owner Kristian Niemi as “a way to pass time while the restaurant was in construction and to get Columbia excited about whiskey. It also scratched an itch in the southeast…no whiskey shows. Major US cities boasted of shows like WhiskeyFest, but the South was always missing on their itinerary. So, like his restaurants throughout the years (Mr. Friendly’s, Gervais & Vine, Solstice, Rosso Trattoria, and his upcoming Black Rooster), which he claims “were all very selfish endeavors to satisfy a need that I had. I just figured eventually everyone else would like it enough to be successful.”
