Ponfeigh Distillery Reviews
Never been here before until I came for an event a friend was having. Everything was fine until the owners doodle dog came in and started eating all the food on her table. Super unsanitary, and she didn't even get an apology.
A Doodle ate my cupcake here…… not cool!
I just attended an event there and a random dog came in and started eating and licking the food on the table. It took quite a while for them to take action, and apparently it was the owners dog. I love dogs, but it was so unsanitary and unprofessional to have a dog wandering about without a leash. This remains unaddressed by the company. Very disappointing. I wonder how the health department would feel about this?

Ponfeigh Distillery is a hidden gem tucked into the whiskey-rich hills of Somerset, Pennsylvania—a place where history, heritage, and exceptional craftsmanship meet in every pour. Their Rye Whiskey is highly praised, with one reviewer calling it "one of the best Rye Whiskeys" they've tasted. The distillery offers a range of products, including a traditional 90 Proof Rye and a 4-year-old cask strength Rye at 117 proof. The Westsylvania Rye Whiskey is particularly noted as "to die for," with Rye that is locally grown and milled in-house.
From the moment visitors step onto the property, they’re not just visiting a distillery—they’re stepping into a story. The folks at Ponfeigh have revived the bold spirit of Monongahela Rye, crafting whiskey that pays homage to Pennsylvania’s proud roots in American distilling. Their Westsylvania Cask Strength Rye is an absolute powerhouse—layered with spice, dark fruit, and caramel.
The tasting room is warm and welcoming, and the team behind the bar knows their whiskey well. Visitors can enjoy informative and fun distillery tours, generous tastings, and even special events in the 20,000 sq. ft. facility, which includes an amphitheater and museum. The owner often leads tours himself, adding a personal touch. This modern facility features a friendly staff that provides wonderful service, ensuring a memorable experience.
For those looking for more than whiskey, the distillery partners with Marinades Grill for dinner service, offering steak and salmon choices. Whether guests are seasoned sippers or just getting started, Ponfeigh Distillery is a must-visit destination for whiskey enthusiasts and is highly recommended by those who have experienced it.
