This whiskey starts with a shared language: live-fire.

ASW Master Distiller Justin Manglitz learned barbecue and distilling on the same farm, shaped by the same Southern traditions of patience, heat control, and respect for raw materials. That connection between fire and flavor isn’t branding - it’s technique. And it’s what makes this collaboration with Big Green Egg not just natural, but inevitable.

Big Green Egg isn’t an influence here. It’s the instrument.

A medium‑plus to heavy toast on the interior.

A smoky, umami‑forward char on the exterior.

After a year of experimental single barrels to refine the process, the result is the richest, most complex toasted stave whiskey ASW knows how to make - and the only one produced using this method, on a Big Green Egg.

This is fire‑driven whiskey, made possible by a fire‑driven tool.
