The beautiful high, barrelled ceiling and the hand-hammered still can be viewed through windows that connect the distillery to the tasting room, where visitors are welcome to try the spirits and take a tour. Not long after opening the distillery, the pair managed to partner with Dr. Brian Ward from the Clemson University to get their hands on some Jimmy Red corn, which was saved from extinction by Ted Chewning. They use the unique strain of maize to produce a special edition premium whiskey, the Jimmy Red Bourbon. New Southern Revival Sorghum Whiskey is another different take on the spirit that is crafted with the ancient grain sorghum. Sorghum has many uses and has historically been used flour, beer, fodder, and spirits. The production process has as much common with whiskey as it does with rum, since a syrup is first made from the entire sorghum plant, before being distilled. The resulting 88-proof whiskey has a unique and complex profile.Grab a bottle today!
