Firefly Distillery Unveils Tom & Huck Distillers: A New Era of Refined Spirits

An elevated whiskey and bourbon experience launches ahead of Father’s Day & National Bourbon Day

NORTH CHARLESTON, SC (May 30, 2024) –  Firefly Distillery, South Carolina’s most popular distillery, announces the launch of Tom & Huck Distillers, a new spirited endeavor from the makers of Firefly spirits. Tom & Huck Distillers, a collection of aged and distilled spirits distinguished by the maritime climate of the Lowcountry, will feature a collection of meticulously aged whiskeys and bourbons, a dedicated barrel aging house, and a Master Distiller’s whiskey tour. The new venture is launching on Thursday, June 13, just in time to celebrate National Bourbon Day on June 14 and Father’s Day on June 16.

“After over twenty years of crafting exceptional vodkas and moonshines influenced by southern flavors, we’re thrilled to announce Tom & Huck Distillers, continuing our adventure into the world of brown spirits,” says Scott Newitt, co-founder of Firefly Distillery and Tom & Huck Distillers. “As we created more in the way of aged spirits over the years, we’re excited to introduce new products, and offer an elevated experience for both the bourbon enthusiast and those who wish to explore brown spirits in more depth.”

Twenty years ago, co-founders Scott Newitt and Jim Irvin launched Firefly Distillery. Through the years, they stayed consistent, authentic, and worked incredibly hard to hone the subtleties of their craft, maximizing the benefits of their coastal location and climate to bring their newest adventure to life: Tom & Huck Distillers. The Tom & Huck Distillers collection of spirits is refined in a way that only two decades of experience and consistent attention to detail can deliver. Featured products under this collection include a line of flavored whiskeys, hand-selected bourbons, and the signature Bend & Steal American Whiskey.

With familial legacy at its core, Firefly’s longtime head distiller Jay Macmurphy will lead the way for Tom & Huck Distillers alongside his daughter Riley Macmurphy as head blender and line lead. This continues the tradition established by her father Jay and grandfather Jim Irvin, co-founder and the original scientist who developed Firefly Distillery’s signature spirits. Honing the family craft, Riley Macmurphy becomes the third generation to uphold and enrich their distinguished legacy in the world of distilled spirits.

Each product in the Tom & Huck collection offers a smooth, flavorful taste catering to refined palates. Featured products include:

• Bend & Steal American Whiskey
• Steel Feathers Blackberry Whiskey
• Steal Feathers Southern Tea Whiskey
• Steel Feathers Espresso Whiskey
• LIVE Single Barrel Straight Bourbon Whiskey (Concert Series)
• LIVE Barrel Proof Bourbon
