https://fireflydistillery.com/about/

On this episode of the Shrimp City Report, hosts talk with Jay McMurphy of Charleston's Firefly Distillery about the family origins of the brand, the development of their signature sweet tea vodka, whiskey, moonshine and bourbon, and the distillery’s commitment to flavor consistency and quality control.

Jay explains production details from flavor standards and barrel usage to bottling and how seasonal releases and unique barrel projects come together. He also shares how reused barrels are repurposed for smoking and local crafts.

The conversation highlights Firefly’s community events — concerts, oyster roasts, snow rail jams and local partnerships — and points listeners to the distillery’s website and newsletter for upcoming shows and product releases.
