The Omni William Penn Hotel has a new partnership with Wigle Whiskey. Their newly opened tasting room in the hotel is bringing a twist to the classics already featured. “Overall, one of our favorite things that we’ve released is Wigle’s Pressed Pennsylvania Pommeau,” says Audra Kelly, barrelhouse and cocktails manager at Wigle Whiskey. “It’s very different, very drinkable.” The liquor stars in Gatsby Goes Basic, a 1920s-inspired favorite that will be available in Omni’s Palm Court in early June. We can’t say “no way” to Rosé, so topping it with that completes our sparkling checklist!
