Fiddler Encore Tequila 8 Years Old Barrel: 24-1092 750ml
This is an exclusive Whiskey Library barrel pick—Barrel 24-1092—a distinguished single-barrel selection from ASW Distillery's innovative Fiddler Encore Tequila Finish line. Built on ASW's celebrated high-wheat wheated bourbon foundation (51% corn, 45% wheat, 4% malted barley), this expression represents a bold exploration of cross-cultural spirit craftsmanship.
Age & Finishing Timeline:
- Primary Maturation: 8 Years and 1 Month in charred American white oak barrels, developing deep bourbon character and layered complexity
- Tequila Cask Finish: 1 Year and 3 Months in premium añejo tequila casks, infusing agave sweetness and exotic spice
The extended tequila barrel finishing introduces a captivating bridge between two spirits traditions—adding layers of agave sweetness, blue agave mineral complexity, and warm oak spice that complement the bourbon's inherent vanilla, caramel, and wheated smoothness. At 59.1% ABV, this cask-strength bottling achieves remarkable balance, allowing the tequila influence to enhance rather than overshadow, creating a sophisticated cross-cultural exploration perfect for the adventurous whiskey collector. Non-chill-filtered and uncolored to preserve authenticity, this exclusive Whiskey Library single barrel is a truly distinctive pour that challenges convention and rewards curiosity.
