My only downfall (why I gave it a 4 star rating) about the place is that I kind of thought it was more of a bar type atmosphere where you could sit down and have a few drinks, but its not really anything like that at all. There's a garage door opening and a few tall tables to stand at and have your drink. Don't go there planning to sit down to a few cocktails though.
With that said, my girl and I went on the Wigle tour. With that you are given a free cocktail if I recall when you enter. The tour is quite good. There was a young man and women who lead the way. Its very small in the back room. You pretty much move 5 feet here, 5 feet there, 5 feet back there, take a seat and try a few of their whiskey's and the tour is over. Maybe about 45min length total for the tour.
The tour though was very entertaining nonetheless. At each stop, the young man talked about how they make their "organic whiskeys" and what goes into each of the whiskey's they produce while the young lady entertained us with a funny story about the history of Wigle and the Pittsburgh area during the Whiskey Rebellion.
This is a nice tour for a fathers day gift, or for your boyfriend or hubby if they like their spirits. At the end of the tour you sit down a table with a handful of other people and they talk about how they bottle their product and they had about 5 of their spirits for us to try, I was seated with my girl, and a group of 3 other women. None of them really liked the Whiskey haha, but that's because they serve it to you straight, I even heard the one girl go, Oh my gosh I need some coke in this, and in the end they pretty much passed their whiskey down my way and I definitely got my price of the tour's worth of drinks.
After the tour, I bought a bottle of the Geniever Gin because I am a Gin Man, though I really wanted to buy a dark rye whiskey, just for around $50 a bottle I was already kinda broke for the day so I went with the cheapest spirit they had for sale just to show some appreciation for the good time I had.
My girl and I also stayed around and had a few of the interesting cocktails they have, one had honey in it and was heated (more of a winter kind of drink) the other had some kind of maple syrup in it with cinnamon (reminded me of fall). All and all very good stuff that I've never had before. Do go and check this place out.
From what I've recently been hearing, they are trying to get their whiskey sold locally at state stores around the Pennsylvania area. A handful of bars in downtown Pittsburgh actually have many cocktails using the Wigle brand already so its nice to know that the business is doing good.
May your drink always stay cold!
You're Truely, The Shaw...
