Fiddler Toasted Straight Rye Whiskey Cask Strength Review
A variety of sourced mash bills — all of at least 6 years — are finished in toasted barrels, then “fiddled” with to create this flavorful blend. It’s well-rounded and thick on the palate, with notes of gingerbread, maple syrup, and candied oranges, finishing with a lingering astringency. Excellent.
