Atlanta's Flagship Wheater, Built From Two Bourbons

Most wheated bourbons are a single mash bill; Fiddler Wheated is a marriage. ASW marries its own Georgia-distilled high-malt bourbon — double-distilled on Vendome copper pot stills — with a foraged Indiana high-wheat bourbon whose 45% wheat content is more than double that of most wheated bourbons, then blends just four barrels at a time and double-oaks a portion of each batch for extra depth. It is ASW's flagship bourbon, first released as Fiddler Unison. Shop the ASW Distillery collection, the bourbon whiskey shelves, and more whiskey at Del Mesa.

Tasting Notes

Toffee, clove and citrus in the distillery's own notes — the wheat softening the spice into a buttery toffee palate, smooth and approachable with the gentle sweetness a high-wheat mash bill brings.

How to Enjoy

Built for an Old Fashioned — it is the bourbon in ASW's own recipe — and an easy neat pour for campfires and concerts, in the distillery's words.
