A consistent favorite, Wapsie Valley Bourbon shows off our commitment to working with local farming partners. Nigel at Weatherbury Farms approached us about wanting to cultivate the heirloom, open-pollinated (pollinated naturally by birds and insects) variety of corn and we figured it would be a great base for a terroir-rich bourbon. The heritage variety of corn gives this bourbon distinctive notes of butterscotch and brown sugar!

Join us for the release on Friday, September 6 from 6-9 PM at the Wigle Whiskey Distillery! Corn bread, live music, free samples of Wapsie and more will fill the night with fun! Be sure to RSVP so that we know you are coming.

Cocktail of the Rebellion competition features five of Pittsburgh’s most creative and rebellious cocktail makers at the Wigle Barrelhouse on October 1 from 5-8 PM. Bartenders will be giving “The Allegheny” cocktail a twist with Wigle spirits. One bartender’s cocktail will be given the inaugural “Cocktail of the Rebellion” title by a panel of cocktail experts!

“The Allegheny” is named in honor of the farmers turned moonshiners that our namesake Philip Wigle fought to protect. Those same moonshiners eventually traveled across the Allegheny Mountains to settle what is now Bourbon County. Traditionally, it is made with bourbon, dry vermouth, crème de mûre, and lemon juice.

A $10 ticket includes a welcome cocktail and a sample of each bartender’s “The Allegheny” cocktail. Wigle’s bar will be open for additional pay-as-you go cocktails, cider, and beer. Live music and a food truck will be on-site.

Competing bartenders will be announced at a later date!

This event is currently SOLD OUT. If you would like to join our waiting list, please email our Programs Manger at emily@wiglewhiskey.com. Thank you in advance for your interest in our event!
