Can’t make the release? Pre-Order a bottle here for pick up or delivery!

Bottled in Bond as an indicator of quality has a history that spans back to the Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897 — the first consumer protection passed in the United States. To combat the proliferation of poor quality products labeled as whiskey, the government declared Bonded whiskies must be aged for a minimum of four years in new charred-oak barrels, bottled at 100 proof and made by one distiller during one distilling season. Wigle upped the ante for this Bonded release with whiskey made from locally produced grains and aged for five long years in our bonded facilities in Pittsburgh’s Strip District and North Side neighborhoods.
