Single Barrel Straight Rye Whiskey will be released as part of Wigle Whiskey’s 11th birthday celebration.
Wigle Whiskey, a small-batch, craft whiskey distillery in Pittsburgh’s Strip District, will be celebrating its 11th birthday Thursday with the release of its longest-aged spirits to date: Single Barrel Straight Bourbon and Single Barrel Straight Rye Whiskey, aged 8 years each.
To celebrate, the distillery will be hosting a “Bourbon vs. Rye” birthday bash starting at 5:30 p.m. Thursday. The festivities will continue through 8:30 p.m. Those attending will be able to decide the winner between a Bourbon cocktail and a Rye cocktail, and take part in a mini-tour of Wigle’s production facilities, talk with its distillers, enjoy a slice of birthday cake and partake of a sample of Wigle Limoncello.
Those attending will also have the first opportunity to try and buy the 8-year spirits.
“We are incredibly grateful to all our supporters and look forward to celebrating with them,” said Alex Moser, Wigle’s chief operating officer.
Wigle Whiskey is the most-awarded craft distillery by the American Craft Spirits Association for the last decade. Wigle is an organic “grain-to-glass” distiller using ingredients from and around Western Pennsylvania.
