Fiddler + John Deere “Soil to Still” Release

Don't miss the first release of a truly special collaboration, as we partner with John Deere to release our Fiddler Combine Bourbon and Fiddler Steel Plow Rye!

Named “Soil to Still”, the collaboration honors the soil that both brands have spent generations serving: From American-grown corn, to oak in the barrels and finishing staves and most of the tools used to harvest and split the heartwood by hand, every element pays homage to their history.

When we set out to build this collaboration, we brought our personal conviction to the table. Over the course of two years, we taught John Deere’s team on whiskey, building relationships over a shared love for the crafted. What started as a business venture quickly became a genuine partnership between two companies who harbor a deep respect for things built close to the ground.

The result is Fiddler Combine Bourbon and Fiddler Steel Plow Rye — whiskeys that carry the weight of America’s history in every bottle. Finished by Master Distillery, Justin Manglitz, the white oak staves are seasoned outdoors for two or more years, then hand-charred and inserted into each barrel for the final two months of aging.

Fiddler Steel Plow Rye  —  A tribute to John Deere’s original steel plow, this rye is the spirit of the founding generation. George Washington distilled it at Mount Vernon and it fueled the westward expansion that John Deere’s plow made possible. Bold, spicy, and rooted in the same American grit that broke the Illinois sod. Aged for 8 years in a new charred white oak barrel and bottled at 112 proof.

Fiddler Combine Bourbon  —  A nod to the 1947 debut of the self-propelled combine harvester, this wheated bourbon features 45% wheat content — more than double that of most allocated wheated bourbons on the market. The high-wheat mash bill delivers the softness and sweetness that makes wheated bourbons among the most sought-after in the world. Aged for 8 years in a new charred white oak barrel and bottled at 112 proof.
