Wigle Whiskey
Wigle Whiskey (pronounced "wih-gul") is an artisan small batch whiskey distillery in the Strip District, Pittsburgh, Strip District neighborhood of Pittsburgh. Wigle Whiskeys are the flagship products of Wigle Whiskey, which is entirely family owned and operated. History Wigle began operations in 2011, and opened its doors to the public in March 2012.

The bill allowed Wigle to sell spirits to customers. Wigle purchased the distillery building and a neighboring building in early 20 ...
