In this episode of the Vint Podcast, Billy Galanko and Brady Weller talk with High Wire Distillery (Charleston, SC) founder Scott Blackwell. Along with his wife Ann, Scott opened High Wire after selling his "Immaculate Baking Company" to General Mills. As connoisseurs of chocolate, coffee, and craft beer, this step into craft spirits was an exciting (yet challenging) endeavor.  Today, High Wire produces a number of Rye and Bourbon whiskies, and produce 100% Jimmy Red Corn (Jimmy Red Revival Project) and 100% Sorghum whiskies that are altogether unique in the spirits space. This year is High Wire's 10th anniversary, so it's fitting that Scott would join us to talk about heirloom grains, craft distilling, the challenges of growing a whiskey business, and their plans for celebrating their 10th year producing thoughtful and regionally inspired spirits.
