Our Story
Born in South Carolina
Nestled in the heart of the lowcountry
High Wire Distilling Co. excels in reviving forgotten grains and restoring historic flavors to the modern whiskey palate.
Founded by Scott Blackwell & Ann Marshall
High Wire was born of our desire to explore a range of flavor that might be found in lost and forgotten grains.
Our roots in farming and organic baking drive us to approach distilling with the palate and curiosity of adventurous cooks; the exuberance of enthusiastic eaters — and the devotion to regenerative practices like no-till farming and seed preservation. It’s all part of our mission to enhance flavor, celebrate farmers, preserve rural lands, and make drinking an agricultural act.
Our spirits are created using heritage grains from South Carolina family farms and are produced from mill to barrel right here in downtown Charleston.
These efforts combine to form a groundswell movement in which drinking is an agricultural act, and whiskey, an expression of the stories it holds.
