PITTSBURGH, Nov. 9, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- The 2011 Pittsburgh Whiskey and Fine Spirits Festival will be held on Friday, November 18, 2011 from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. at the Heinz Field East Club Lounge. At this year's festival, 1,300 guests will indulge in over 250 liquors, including scotch, single-malt, bourbon, whiskey, gin, vodka, tequila, rum, and cordials from distilleries all around the world. The sampling extends beyond only liquors to feature specialty cocktails and food stations where guests can taste culinary delights from Pittsburgh's leading mixologists and chefs.
"We are excited to have the theme of 'Mad Men' for this year's event," says Dale Markham, general manager for the festival. "Also, this year is going to be even more exceptional because we are not only offering more liquors to taste than ever before, but we will have some local Pittsburgh spirits experts on hand, such as Wigle Whiskey," says Markham.
Wigle Whiskey, located in the Strip district, is the first distillery in the region since Prohibition era. The family owned and operated business prides itself on making their whiskey the old fashioned way in a copper pot with local ingredients.
