| - I've visited the Barrelhouse twice now, once at the Yelp Elite Event in August and once this past Mon. for another event. The location isn't the most convenient for me, esp. not having a car. Having said that, I am a big fan of the Wigle enterprise and their products. The employees are very passionate about their work and the business, and it definitely comes through. I wouldn't consider myself a whiskey drinker, but their spirits are smooth, flavorful, and refreshing! I've really enjoyed all of the cocktails I've tried here, including a mint julep, an old fashioned, and a dark and stormy.
If you visit, I'd recommend taking a tour of the facility and doing a whiskey tasting. While the cocktails are great, hearing about the history and science of whiskey distilling in PGH is the most unique and enlightening aspect of Wigle. The employees do a great job of explaining the history and science, as well as the product development process, in an engaging way. When I was here on Mon., I missed that part of it, since the event was in the cocktail bar and the yard. It was still a lot of fun, however. The only disappointment that the mac and cheese food truck cancelled! :-(
