Fiddler Wheated Bourbon
Distillery: ASW Distillery
91 proof
Fiddler Wheated Straight Bourbon Whiskey is crafted by ASW Distillery, one of the pioneering craft distilleries in Atlanta, Georgia, established in 2010. This bourbon features a wheated mash bill, substituting wheat for rye to create a smoother, sweeter profile compared to traditional rye-heavy bourbons. Produced from a high-rye corn base with wheat as the secondary grain, it is distilled using a unique pot still process and aged in new charred American oak barrels in a climate-controlled warehouse. The result is a balanced bourbon with notes of caramel, vanilla, and subtle fruitiness, reflecting Georgia's emerging whiskey scene. Bottled at 91 proof, it embodies ASW's commitment to innovation while adhering to bourbon's strict production standards. Ideal for sipping neat or in cocktails like the mint julep shown alongside the bottle.
Reviews
skip unless you find it for $32. unique half-oaked concept but doesn't excel at wheat or oak. prefer green river or bardstown wheateds.
Nose: funky wheated oak, maple syrup sweetness. Palate: sweet upfront with pleasant oak, cohesive. Finish: fleeting, slightly bitter with tannins.
Review rating: 6 / 10
touch above mediocre, wouldn't snag again
