The story behind it

The maker

High Wire Distilling Co. was founded in 2013 by Scott Blackwell and Ann Marshall in Charleston, South Carolina, with a focus on regional agricultural heritage. By partnering with local Clemson University researchers and farmers, they resurrected Jimmy Red corn, transforming it into a signature grain that redefined Southern distilling.

How it is made

This bourbon is distilled and aged at High Wire Distilling Co. in Charleston, utilizing the legendary Jimmy Red corn, a nearly extinct heirloom grain rescued from the brink of disappearance. The unique red-kernel corn imparts an exceptionally oily, nutty, and thick texture during distillation.
