Formerly released as Fiddler Unison, Fiddler Wheated is the flagship expression of the Fiddler lineup, which was first created to showcase the exceptional distillates selected and finished by ASW. With a larger component of wheat in the mash bill than most wheated bourbons in the market, this approachable whiskey is built for sessionable sipping.
When we were getting our start, we knew we’d be making a whole host of whiskies from grain to glass. While those aged, we wanted one brand to allow us to showcase interesting whiskies from across the country (including our own) that we “fiddle with” to create new flavor profiles. Through years of trial and error, much sampling, and rejoicing where appropriate, we’ve settled on a number of year-round expressions, all of which feature different flavor profiles and fiddling: from our own house-distilled, copper-pot bourbon, Fiddler Soloist Straight Bourbon, to our high wheat, foraged bourbon that we finish on hand-harvested Georgia oak staves, Fiddler Heartwood Bourbon, to our best-selling Fiddler Unison Bourbon, a marriage of the first two – along with other Fiddler expressions both past and future.
