It's entirely possible that you can enjoy Wigle's spirits without truly understanding what makes their product so unique, but it's their mission to help you. That's what makes this place so special and the people who run it so incredible.
The family behind Wigle and their crew of tireless volunteers and staff are behind a nearly singular gem in American whiskey production: a distillery that actually produces its own whiskey spirits from scratch.
That may sound strange to some. Surely all the great distilleries of Kentucky and Tennessee take the same care and craft to produce their whiskeys, just like their websites and commercials would imply. They don't.
Through the advent of clever marketing, many a 'distillery' has found it easy to suggest that the spirits they produce are made from the same tradition, ingredients, and process you find at a Scotch-whiskey distillery nestled in a seaside valley in Scotland. They aren't. Wigle's spirits are. And it shows.
On top of all that, they have a great attitude about bringing distilled whiskey back to Pennsylvania where it so rightfully belongs. Their historical knowledge and exuberance for its recountment are no small part of the Wigle experience.
So grab some friends and check out a tour of this exciting new [and old] piece of Pittsburgh history.
