I wish I could give this place more stars...
My wife and I went on the guided tour which was excellent. It starts off with a cocktail of our choice made with their product. I cannot recall which we chose, but both were great! Not only was the guide funny, but was very informative. He discussed the basics of how whiskey and other spirits are made, the history of whiskey in the Pittsburgh area and how Mr. Wigle influenced the landscape. Throughout each step of the process they also provide samples for those of us on the tour to smell and look at which provides an even stronger understanding of how their products are made.
At the end of the tour you get to sit with others in the group and taste five of their spirits. The additional chocolate at the end was a great way to finish (it is made with their whiskey!)
The experience was so enjoyable that when we found ourselves grabbing lunch nearby at Penn Ave Fish Co., we decided to stop in again for a cocktail before lunch.
The staff was very friendly and helpful. They answered all my odd questions, and found one of their distillers to answer those which they could not.
Overall it was an exceptional experience and one I will hope to experience again. For the meantime I get to enjoy some of their great whiskey's which are available for sale on the premises. I recommend getting the flight of experimental aged wheat and rye whiskeys (sp?). We also enjoyed their old fashioned so much that we bought all the ingredients from them so we can continue to enjoy them!
