Wigle Whiskey

Description

Owned by father and son duo Mark and Eric Meyer, Wigle (pronounced "wiggle") is a distillery that makes whiskey using traditional methods --- with a copper pot, local ingredients and a little wiggle.

The distillery is named after Philip Wigle, a German immigrant who lived in what is now Fayette County and was sentenced to death for his involvement in Whiskey Rebellion. a violent 1790s protest against an alcohol tax. He was later pardoned by President George Washington.

While the methods may be traditional, Wigle's facilities are very up-to-date, located inside a handsome, red brick industrial building.
