A “serial entrepreneur” since the age of 19, Scott Blackwell has built his success one innovative culinary venture at a time. From pie maker, restaurateur, and coffee roaster to, most recently, commercial baker, Scott is passionate about blending culinary creativity with high quality, artisanal ingredients. The sale of his most recent venture, Immaculate Baking Company, to General Mills inspired him to return to small batch, agriculturally focused products in the form of High Wire Distilling Co, located in downtown Charleston. In 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020, Scott was a semifinalist/finalist for the James Beard Foundation award for Outstanding Wine, Beer, or Spirits Professional.
