A very dark amber glowing bottle, Fiddler is from ASW, another local Georgia startup distillery trying to break into the market. Reputed to be a blend of high wheat and high malt (malts of various grain) the blending apparently leads to the name "fiddling". The nose gives a big sour mash note not unlike Beam, some dark sugars and malt spices also blend in nicely, making for a relatively pleasant bouquet. First and foremost we get that wheated sensation, nearly a Larceny like front, the sugars are prevalent and hold on through to the end, while malty spices take over for the wheat. The advertised nutmeg and perhaps a feint orchard note get the larger share of the finish. The dark malt chocolate tones are present but not overpowering. A pretty fair attempt for a new label and an interesting, reasonably balanced, blend to say the least. The one thing the experienced bourbonir will not be confused by are any well aged components, because there aren't any. I'd say the blenders did a nice job working with what they have, this is all young product that while delivering a pretty decent profile , will not be bumping aside any 9 to 13 year or even better aged juice. Like their counterparts up the road a piece in Chatanooga who are banking on Solera over aging, using a nice blending process in no way makes up for those many years of good ole warehouse time. I'd say the malted fans will probably get better mileage out of this bottle than the wheat fans of Weller. Given you can find this in the low 30's it's an interesting enough dram to make it worth your time and effort to pick one up, just to try out a good, if young, blend. Cheers!
