HIGHWIRE DISTILLING CO.

A Rediscovery of Forgotten Flavor. Crafted in Charleston, Rooted in the Lowcountry.

Where Drinking is an Agricultural Act

High Wire Distilling Co. was founded by Scott Blackwell and Ann Marshall with a desire to explore a range of flavor found in lost and forgotten grains. Located in
downtown Charleston, their process is rooted in farming and organic baking,
driving them to approach distilling with the palate and curiosity of adventurous cooks. Every spirit is created using heritage grains from South Carolina family farms, from milling and mashing to distillation and barrel aging—a bold rediscovery of lost flavor.

From Field to Barrel: Our Process

.

High Wire is dedicated to regenerative practices like no-till farming
and seed preservation. They partner with local farmers to cultivate forgotten
Southern grains, most famously the deep-red Jimmy Red Corn. This commitment to
the source—to enhancing flavor, celebrating farmers, and preserving rural
lands—ensures that every bottle is a true expression of the stories it holds.

A Revival of an American Heritage Grain

Jimmy Red Corn was nearly extinct, saved by a single farmer. High Wire took this unique, high-oil corn and turned it into the bold, complex bourbon that put
them on the map. Explore the limited and rare releases below.

Rye Whiskey

Revival Rye Whiskey from High Wire Distilling is a remarkable exploration of American whiskey heritage, committed to reviving lost flavors from forgotten grains. Based in downtown Charleston, the distillery operates with the philosophy that "drinking is an agricultural act," sourcing heritage grains from South Carolina family farms. This spirit is a true celebration of an almost lost tradition, produced entirely in-house from milling through barrel aging.

This whiskey is distilled from a mash of 100% Abruzzi rye, a grain varietal that was widely cultivated in the Carolinas during the colonial period but has since vanished from commercial use. The commitment to this single, unique grain provides a flavor profile distinctly different from typical modern ryes. Aged for a minimum of 18 months in Char 3 American oak, the whiskey emerges with a surprising character that is sweet and floral, rather than aggressively spicy. The palate offers beautiful complexity with appealing notes of walnut, fruit, and spice, delivering an elegant and expressive Southern rye.
