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. 🥃 🔥
