High Wire Distilling Co. 7 year old Jimmy Red Limited Edition Wheated (Batch 6), 53.5%

Price: 100 Issue: Spring 2026 Reviewer: Danny Brandon Category: Bourbon/Tennessee Whiskey

This release includes wheat alongside the typical Jimmy Red corn in the mashbill. It takes a few minutes to open up, but it rewards your patience with a lovely nose of cherry gelato, caramel hard candies, brown sugar, chocolate-covered berries, and peanut butter. The palate is chewy and well-textured, with salted peanuts, barrel spice, pepper, vanilla, oak, and lush black cherries that linger through the finish.
