When we first set out on our whiskey journey, we made a purposeful decision to craft two lines of spirits: one that we distilled ourselves, and one that allows us to showcase unique spirits from across the country that we then bring in house and “fiddle with”.
Our Master Distiller, Justin Manglitz, is an accomplished old-time string music fiddler, so we thought the name Fiddler a fitting testament to his virtuoso skills and our transparent line of foraged, “fiddled with” whiskies.
The popularity of the Fiddler name took on a life of its own, and we soon applied it to various bourbons we distilled in-house as well. Find more information about each release below. We’re pleased to have the chance to share them with you.
Fiddler Wheated Bourbon
Partly Double Oaked Wheated Bourbon
A true ode to American Bourbon, perfect for campfires, concerts, and a killer Old Fashioned, Fiddler Wheated Bourbon is our flagship wheated bourbon, at least 6 years and bottled in small, four-barrel batches at 92 proof with a portion double-oaked for a smooth-sipping everyday bourbon.
Notes of toffee, clove & citrus

Each winter, the sapwood drains from the heartwood of white oak trees, making it an opportune time to harvest staves for Fiddler Heartwood, as Master Distiller Justin Manglitz did in Habersham County, GA with friends George and Amelia Boggs in early 2023. These are hand-charred before entering the barrel.

Fiddler Chin Music Bourbon

Our ongoing collaboration with the Atlanta Braves, the idea originally took shape when the Braves front office selected their own ASW private barrel.

A fantastic, four-grain straight bourbon, Fiddler Soloist is a unique take on America's native spirit, reducing the corn in

When Georgia enacted statewide prohibition in 1905, the term “Straight” as a marker of quality for whiskey had not yet become law. After Georgia lifted prohibition in 1933, no distillery in the City of Atlanta ventured into bourbon distilling until we distilled Fiddler Soloist in 2016, making Soloist the first-ever straight bourbon distilled in Atlanta.
