In South Carolina for a long weekend stint. With that, we stopped in the High Wire Distillery. Didn’t do the tour but did do a flight. The Rye, Jimmy Red, Jimmy Red Single Barrel. So the quick hit.
N: corn, cinnamon, candy corn, caramel, vanilla, cream soda.
P: Cinnamon, cardamom, almonds or walnuts, caramel.
F: Cinnamon, wood.
Decent bourbon pour. Good nose. Flavorful. A vanilla cream soda with cinnamon sipper.
86/100

@Scott_E yeah, it’s pricey because of those heirloom grains I think. I’ve had their abruzzi rye, was pretty good. A bit pricey though
@PBMichiganWolverine Was there a noticeable difference amongst other bourbons? IMO, no. The nose and palate were sweeter (less spice). The spice influence, I would assume, has to due more from the casks. The Barrel Proof I enjoyed more. But at $89 a bottle, was a pass. This was selling for $55, at the distillery.
Does the heirloom red corn really make a difference?
