Finally I don't have to cross a bridge to get my whiskey!
Imagine all the wondrous beauty of Wigle Whiskey but in a fresh, open space. That, my friends, is the Whiskey Garden. All of Wigle's creations are available for sale and sampling along with a few signature cocktails. Today I went for the Duke of Earl - rye whiskey, earl grey tea and lemon - a refreshing drink best enjoyed at a picnic table outside on such a sunny day.
As I enjoyed my cocktail, I was shown the innovation room where new ideas blossom. I was told how they plan to use the basement of the old produce house to see how their whiskey develops under different temperatures. The space itself has been beautifully renovated.
Wigle takes pride in making the community part of their success. I know volunteers were recruited to work on the lovely new outside garden and their dedication has created a great space. I enjoy seeing a successful local business take root and embrace the neighborhood in such a positive way. Have I mentioned I love this city?
