Distilled from 100% South Carolina Jimmy Red corn, which was almost extinct at one point! |

Aged for 5 years total, with 2 years being in Wisconsin! This is one of the oldest barrels you will find from High Wire Distilling. |

Corn fritters, maple syrup, a touch of mint, and some “Juicy” cherry to round things off. |
Famous for their award-winning Jimmy Red Bourbon, High Wire Distilling has been dedicated to “The relentless pursuit of flavor” since first firing up their still in 2013. Incorporating rare, heirloom grains, including the red corn used to make the bourbon in this barrel, High Wire is at the forefront of the agricultural revolution that is craft spirits. This 100% red corn straight bourbon is a classic example of what High Wire does best - sweet, but bold bourbon that checks all the boxes for craft whiskey fans. Cheers to the continued pursuit!
Tasting Notes: Corn fritters with maple syrup, caramelized sugar, sweet mint, bright cherry and ample oak.

Founded in 2013, High Wire Distilling has been focused on creating South Carolina’s best whiskey for over a decade. Produced exclusively from a long-forgotten variety of corn named “Jimmy” Red Corn, their bourbon not only celebrates South Carolina’s agricultural history, but has also led to a resurgence of this once endangered grain.
High Wire was on our radar for over a year before we finally acquired a barrel of 100% Jimmy Red Corn bourbon. Dark and rich with big notes of maple corn cakes and baking spices, we couldn’t resist saving this bourbon for the holiday season. This is truly a standout pour that we couldn’t be happier to bring you through Two Souls Spirits.
