High Wire Distilling Jimmy Red Bottled in Bond Bourbon

Age: 4+ Years old Mash Bill: 100% Jimmy Red Corn Barrel: 53-gallon Proof: 100 proof Tasting Notes: Tart cherry, dark chocolate, and leather with undercurrents of coffee bean, baking spice, smoky vanilla, and ground cinnamon About: At one time there were only two known ears of Jimmy Red corn remaining. Today, High Wire Distilling Co. grows hundreds of acres of the heirloom corn every year in the pursuit of flavor, preservation, and community.  We've told the Jimmy Red story on Seelbach's many times before. A varietal of corn that was on the edge of extinction. With the help of Ted Chewning and multiple others, Jimmy Red was saved. From there it went on to create a wave of innovation in the culinary world. From two ears in 2013 to millions of pounds produced today, production on Jimmy Red corn has exploded. In 2014, High Wire started distilling some of this corn. After a few successful runs they went all in!
