The palate is incredibly viscous, toasty like their toasted Fiddlers from last year with heavy chocolate ganache, clinging dried fruits, and lots of charred citrus on the palate.

The finish is the best part, flat cola sweetness as more of the savoriness draws out along with long, toasted oak and continually developing petrichor.

About the product: Fiddler Syncopation is the world s first and perhaps only Single Malt Bourbon, distilled in the old Appalachian style on ASW s Vendome double copper pot stills from 100% malted Bloody Butcher corn, a hallowed heirloom corn varietal, malted in North Carolina. This limited release bourbon aged to perfection in 15 gallon new charred white oak barrels for 4 years in one of the hottest parts of ASW s rickhouse, leading to a spirit clocking in at over 142 proof. It is dynamite, in so many ways.
