The Whiskey Rebellion was a bloody conflict in Western Pennsylvania during the 1790s in which the distillers rebelled against the new federal government’s whiskey tax. The Wigle Whiskey Rebellion Distillery Tour brings you to the most awarded craft whiskey distillery in the USA for a night of sipping and stories. You’ll tour the distillery to learn how their spirits are made before listening to the history of the rebellion.
Landmark Distillery, Wigle Whiskey, re-ignited Pittsburgh’s whiskey tradition. A twice nominated James Beard Semi-Finalist, 10 years voted Pittsburgh’s Best Distillery and 5 years as the most awarded craft whiskey distillery in the country by the ACSA, visiting Wigle is a Must-Do in Pittsburgh.
Join the Distillery team Saturdays for a tour and guided tasting. They’ll walk you through how they start with organic, local grain to produce their award winning Rye and Bourbon Whiskey, Gin, Rum and other spirits. Throughout the tour they’ll regale you with the true tale of the Pittsburgh’s Whiskey Rebellion, one of the country’s quirkiest and most pivotal events. The tour includes an explanation of our distillation process, a history of the Whiskey Rebellion told through the eyes of their namesake Philip Wigle, and a seated tasting of straight spirits. Guests are welcome to stay after their tour or join before for a meal at the Distillery restaurant.
