We were (really) early for the 1 p.m. tour so Bob Ryan showed us around and answered all our questions..what a wonderful place and the spirits were incredible. Left with some gin and whiskey! We will be looking for refills soon I'm sure! Thanks to Bob and Kathy Ryan for a great experience!

Went for a tasting. The young lady in the tasting room was very knowledgeable about her company's products and the distilling process. Bought some tasty items including gin, rum and bitters. Next time we'll spend a few $ and take the tour.

Came here on a groupon, pleasantly surprised! Cute little husband and wife owned place in Bpt, easy to miss as signage is not great but directly across from Caribe field on Asylum. They make gin to die for, plain whiskey, maple whiskey and vodka with flavors such as cinnamon (holy cinnamon) and ginger (so gingery). Everything is locally sourced and made in small batches. Highly recommend a visit and if you can’t make it here buy Asylum products from your local liquor store, you won’t be disappointed
9. Wiggly Bridge Distillery

It all started during a family dinner with a joking statement of “lets make our own whisky.” With a shared love for good whisky and fascination to see how things are made, this father and son team decided to explore the idea. David and David Woods researched and studied (and some say obsessed) over how to build a still and process alcohol. Now, winning awards, the Woods family understand that they have created something very special.

Wiggly Bridge Review We happened to pass by Wiggly Bridge and we decided to make a stop there and check it out. First I tried the white whisky and while I am not a fan of white spirits, I found it to be a very nice surprise, hints of vanilla and very smooth. The small batch bourbon was very smooth and wasn’t overly hot. The two standouts for me were the bottled in bond bourbon and the small batch rum. The extra aging of the bottled in bond bourbon really showed, even smoother with good oak, toast and caramel flavors. It was incredibly drinkable. The small batch rum was perfect for sipping, hint of sweetness without the syrupy feeling that I get with some of the darker rums. I purchased two bottles of the bottled in bond bourbon and one of the small batch rum. My wife had a cocktail called a Pain Killer which she really enjoyed as well. The distillery barn has excellent ambiance and the COVID protections are unobtrusive but there. The owner an staff were very friendly and we had a great conversation while there. We will definitely come back every time we are in ogunquit.

We have been passing the signs for this distillery for some time now and finally found the time needed to stop in and take a tour. First of all, if you like post and beam construction, this building is wonderful. Constructed of old barn beams up the 12" square. Once inside, the assumption is that you are there for the tour and tasting. We were happy to do so and there was plenty to taste. Future offerings were also talked about. One unanticipated gem was their Maple Syrup. They have combined maple sap with some of their brew, cooked off the alcohol and they are left with this full bodied, dark Maple syrup which should only be used on gourmet waffles or amazing desserts and to serve it only to those who can appreciate an amazing experience.
