Created in the birthplace of American whiskey, organic wheat is locally produced by Goodness Grows Farm in Bedford, PA. “This delightful wheat whiskey has a bright and distinctively sweet body. With notes of vanilla and cinnamon on the nose, this spirit melts on your tongue with a soft maltiness, and a smooth leathery finish. Aged a little over 19 months in a 15gal charred white oak cask from Kelvin Cooperage, the whiskey takes on a lovely bronzed hue, just beckoning to be enjoyed in any fashion whether it be neat, on the rocks, or in a Manhattan.” - Benjamin Taylor, Wigle Distiller “Omni Bedford Springs continues to lead the charge in its support of local suppliers and producers. We are thrilled to celebrate the heritage of Whiskey making in Western Pennsylvania and Bedford’s historic role in the Whiskey Rebellion with the introduction of this Pennsylvania Whiskey to the resort.” - Meredith Grelli, Wigle Co-Owner whiskey rebellion dinner Saturday, March 14th, 2015 at 6:30pm reception Assorted Local and Imported Cheeses Sangaree Punch Wigle Organic Monongahela Rye Whiskey, Madeira, Lemon, Sugar, Nutmeg first course Venison & Farro Parsnip, Fennel, Mushroom Stone Fence Wigle Landlocked Spiced, Arsenal Picket Bone-Dry Apple Cider*, Allspice Dram second course Braised Duck Soba Noodle Salad, Carrot, Daikon, Sesame Seeds third course Bacon & Egg Pork Belly, Quail Egg, Potato Pave ~ Rattle-Skull Wigle Organic Allegheny Wheat Whiskey, Troegs Doublebock*, Lime, Nutmeg fourth course Smoked Chicken Ravioli Wilted Kale, Fire Roasted Tomato, Whiskey Jus fifth course Dark Chocolate Cake Ghost Chili Ice Cream Syllabub Wigle Organic Ginever, Riesling*, Cream, Lemon, Meringue $80++ Please call 814-624-5642 for reservations..

  • Prohibition Rye” -Wigle’S Limited-Edition Whiskey Is Inspired by the History Center’S New Exhibit, American Spirits: the Rise and Fall of Prohibition
    Media Contacts: Brady Smith Kim Roberts 412-454-6459 412-454-6382 [email protected] [email protected] History Center and Wigle Whiskey to Release “Prohibition Rye” -Wigle’s limited-edition whiskey is inspired by the History Center’s new exhibit, American Spirits: The Rise and Fall of Prohibition- PITTSBURGH, Feb. 20, 2018 – The Senator John Heinz History Center, the “Smithsonian’s home in Pittsburgh,” has partnered with Wigle Whiskey to release a special, limited-edition Prohibition Rye whiskey, inspired by the museum’s roaring new exhibition, American Spirits: The Rise and Fall of Prohibition. Wigle Whiskey, Pittsburgh’s first whiskey distillery since Prohibition, developed the new Prohibition Rye as a nod to the rich history of alcoholic spirits in Western Pa. The single barrel rye whiskey, bottled at 84 proof, contains notes of citrus and honey on the nose and finishes with notes of black pepper. Wigle has produced a limited-edition run of 250 bottles of Prohibition Rye, which can be purchased beginning Friday, Feb. 23 for $34 at their Strip District location (2401 Smallman St.). A portion of the proceeds will be donated to the History Center to support the museum’s exhibitions and educational programs. The History Center’s new American Spirits exhibit, created in partnership with the National Constitution Center, brings the story of Prohibition vividly to life – from the dawn of the temperance movement, through the Roaring ’20s, and up to the unprecedented repeal of a constitutional amendment. Visitors can learn to dance the Charleston in a recreated speakeasy, track down rumrunners in a custom-built video game, and pose for a mugshot in a lineup of some of the era’s most notorious gangsters in the exhibit’s immersive and interactive displays.
