High Wire Distilling Jimmy Red 7-Year Wheated Bourbon

High Wire Distilling Jimmy Red 7-Year Wheated Bourbon

Regular price $149.99 Sale

Age: 7-years

Proof: 107 proof

Mash bill: 68% Corn, 20% Wheat, 12% Malted Barley

Tasting Notes: The nose gives me all these beautiful, fragrant fruit notes that remind me of the Still Austin Blue Corn a bit. Custardy and a bit floral, juicy cherry, jammy strawberry, and baked blueberry and cherry pies, rich cola syrup, and plenty of barrel char.

The palate is rich, coating, and spiced. Tons of chewy cooked caramel and rich cola syrup lay dense on the tongue, with bright citrus and berries exploding all through the palate. There’s a fair amount of oak spice at play, with this beautiful earl grey tea/london fog-like sweet, fragrant tannin continuing on. 

The finish is long lasting and creamy, with vanilla custard, moderate oak, and plenty of root beer-like spice keeping it interesting well into the long finish.

About Jimmy Red: Limited Release! Our oldest release to date, this Jimmy Red Bourbon Whiskey is Aged 7 Years and was made with a very special WHEATED mash bill. 17 barrels comprise this batch. 

There were only 2 cobs of Jimmy Red corn left after the last man known to grow it passed away. His family gave the seeds to Ted Chewning and he was able to bring it back to life. From two ears in 2013 to an estimated 250,000 lbs in 2017 the production on Jimmy Red corn has exploded.

High Wire Distilling in Charleston, SC began playing around with this corn in 2014. This bourbon is an incredible example of how heritage/heirloom grains are changing craft spirits. Craft distillers are using them to redefine the spirits we love.
