Jimmy Red Bourbon Single Barrel 1055 Review
For more than a decade, Charleston, S.C.’s High Wire Distilling has worked with local researchers and growers to help revive Jimmy Red, a local, magenta-hued variety of corn that lends its name to (and forms the base of) this single barrel release. Fittingly, unique grain character shines from nose to finish, with unexpected savory spices playfully interacting with fruit notes and barrel sweetness. A perfect trifecta of fruit, concentration, and proof, this is a thought-provoking sipper that will delight the whiskey geek in your life.
