Wigle Landlocked Spiced Rum SPICED LANDLOCKED We set out to create a Pennsylvania interpretation of Rum and to celebrate its region's prolific apiaries. Made from scratch and pot-distilled from Pennsylvania buckwheat honey, this distilled mead is a uniquely inland approach to island spirits. Landing somewhere between a rum and a brandy, Landlocked does not fit neatly into either federal category. Wigle has infused this expression of Landlocked with whole, organic botanicals--roasted orange peel, cocoa nibs, whole vanilla beans and cinnamon--to complement the buckwheat honey's distinctive character, redolent of smoky earth and rich aromatics. The result is a spirit with a vanilla nose and a complex body of pepper, cocoa and fig. Sip over ice or mix in your favorite rum or brandy cocktails.

Pot-distilled from local, organic wheat, this absinthe was infused with organic wormwood, fennel, mint, orange peel, and star anise and then re-distilled. When mixed with chilled water, the Swiss-style absinthe will properly louche (pronounced “loosh”) and release a wonderful bouquet of herbs and citrus.
Dutch-style Gin, or Genever, was the original Gin. For the first 600 years of gin making, Gin was made from whiskey in a copper pot still. The invention of modern industrial still, which produces vodka very efficiently, shifted the world Gin market from this original, expensive to make Dutch-Style Gin to the British-Style, vodka based Gin that lines the shelves today. Inspired by a 19th century Pennsylvanian Distiller’s recipe, we are working to bring back this lost gem of distillation. With a grain mash of rye, wheat and malted barley, and a complex family of botanicals, Wigle's Ginever is rounder and fuller than modern gins. Juniper berries remain forefront but are joined by a number of other botanicals including earthy cardamom, peppery cubeb and fragrant lavender to create a layered flavor experience. As with all Wigle products, this handcrafted spirit is made from scratch in our copper pot still in very small batches, using only organic ingredients and local, heirloom grains. Perfect for whiskey and gin lovers alike.
We make this whiskey from local, organic grains that we mill on-site. We then distill in small batches in our traditional copper pot still to preserve the robust, spicy character of the rye grains. With this Whiskey, we work to restore the whiskey tradition to Western Pennsylvania, birthplace of American Rye Whiskey. Each batch is barreled in small 10 and 15 gallon charred oak casks for over a year before it is hand bottled. No two batches are the same, as they each reflect the evolving terroir of Western Pennsylvania from year to year as well as the perspective of distiller at the time it was crafted. Notes of vanilla, maple, brown sugar and cherry. Perfect for Rye lovers and Scotch drinkers ready to see what American pot stills can produce.
This is the first offering in a series of Wigle’s Multigrain Whiskeys. The idea behind the series is to let different grains interact in whiskeys, each highlighting their best attributes. The Four Grain Whiskey is dark, earthy, and wonderfully spicy.
Our Organic White Wheat Whiskey, is made from heirloom soft red winter wheat grain that local farmers deliver directly to our door after harvest. We mill the whole grains on site the same day we start a batch, and gently distill in a traditional copper pot to bring out the inherent sweet fruit notes of the grain.
