Rye was long-forgotten after the end of Prohibition, but has recently seen a renaissance.

We also release a Port-Cask-Finished expression of Resurgens once per year. We at ASW Distillery aged Resurgens Rye in new, charred American white oak casks, balancing the dryness of the rye with sweetness from the barrel to create an exceptional whiskey, unique to Atlanta. Rye is one of Georgia's traditional grains, and we feature it front and center in Resurgens, crafting Resurgens Rye from 100% malted rye, to create a flavorful whiskey that showcases rye’s potential.

In distilling Atlanta's first rye since Prohibition on its traditional, Scottish-style twin copper pot stills, we took our cue from Atlanta's vibrant craft brewing community to explore new, unique whiskey styles largely ignored by large distilleries. In addition to the double-copper-pot-distilled bourbon, rye & malt whiskies, plus seasonal fruit brandies using local Georgia produce that ASW Distillery produces in-house, the ASW team created Fiddler as a line to showcase interesting and difficult to obtain whiskey from across the country and eventually around the world. Releases include Fiddler Original (Release 1 finished in 15-gallon quarter casks), Fiddler Georgia Heartwood (Releases 2-5 and Release 7 finished with staves of white oak heartwood that we harvested in Jackson County, Georgia, seasoned for over a year, and hand-charred), Fiddler Wheated Straight Bourbon Whiskey (Release 6 Atlanta’s first straight bourbon since Prohibition), and Fiddler Unison (Release 8-present blended with our own in-house bourbon stocks that we distilled on our traditional, Scottish-style copper pot stills with corn from Ranger, Georgia’s Riverview Farms). Fiddler started its journey in new 53 gallon barrels and is then finished in-house using an assortment of methods, more specifically described on the label of each release. A perfect combination of corn, wheat and barley unite to create a smooth, soft bourbon that can be enjoyed by both the whiskey novice and enthusiast.

With more than double the wheat content of other “wheated” bourbons, Fiddler’s distinctive grain bill makes it one of the most unique bourbons on the market.
