What happens when bourbon is made with a nearly extinct corn?
@HighWireCHS in Charleston, SC, is using a grain from the past to make its award-winning whiskey. mensjournal.com/drink/high-w…
We are incredibly excited to debut Jimmy Red Skillet Cornbread Mix in the Tasting Room and in our online bottle shop. This cornbread mix is a passion project for Scott (a CIA*-trained baker in his past life) further demonstrating the full flavor profile of Jimmy Red corn.

I'm celebrating 49 trips around the Sun today with this remarkable Jimmy Red Single Barrel that I selected last month at Charleston's @HighWireCHS. Now I'd love to share it with *you* (link and tasting notes in comments). As with many of High Wire's single barrels, it's an exceptional example of genuine regional whiskey, made from 100% heirloom corn from SC's Lowcountry. It's a robust and complex profile, showcasing both sweet and savory notes, and it's worthy of your attention.

This isn’t a spectacular barrel because I helped select it. It’s a spectacular barrel because Ann and Scott were kind enough to make it available. I proudly present the oldest and highest-proof High Wire single barrel to date - 7 years aged in Charleston, SC and clocking in at 124.8 proof. The complexity and viscosity are off the charts. If you think you know Jimmy Red Bourbon, just wait. 🥃 🔥
