What started off as a small collaboration last spring between two Atlanta staples has expanded into something much larger. Big Green Egg and ASW Distillery combined bourbon and smoking together, are making it available to everyone, and we’re here for it.
Fiddler Big Green Egg Bourbon is a representation of what each company does best. It starts with the combination of two different mash bills.
Six barrels from each batch are double-oaked using ASW’s patented high-wheat mash bill (51% corn, 45% wheat, 4% malted barley), while the remaining two barrels from each batch are single-oaked with a bolder mash bill (64% corn, 24% wheat, 12% malted barley).
From here is where it gets fun. The finishing staves are suspended over a Big Green Egg with heat and smoke coming from Big Green Egg’s oak and hickory charcoal blend.
Much like the cooking possibilities on an Egg, the staves take the heat in two ways. Some are charred over direct heat and others are cooked slower with indirect. Each barrel is finished with 15 staves.
The Big Green Egg doesn’t just cook food—it transforms it. We built this bourbon around that same idea: what happens when you apply that kind of heat, craft, and patience to the wood that shapes a whiskey? The answer is in the glass.
Justin Manglitz, Master Distiller, ASW Distillery
As anyone that cooks with live fire knows, the wood itself is important for flavor. ASW Distillery Master Distiller Justin Manglitz works with a longtime friend to harvest select white oak heartwood from storm-downed trees. The oak is then seasoned for up to two years before it hits the Egg.
At Big Green Egg, everything we do comes back to the transformative power of fire. When ASW approached us about using the Egg to finish their bourbon, it felt completely natural—it’s the same principle we’ve always believed in: apply the right heat, the right way, and you unlock flavors that simply don’t exist otherwise. This bourbon is a genuine expression of what both our brands stand for.

The attention to the craft is what’s put the Big Green Egg in iconic status and what’s earned ASW Distillery “World’s Best Small Batch Bourbon (6–10 Years)” honors at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition.
