Wiggly Bridge Distillery sits right on Route 1 in York, Maine, housed in a restored 19th-century building that once served the local community in entirely different ways. David Woods and Barry Nagle founded the distillery in 2013, bringing together Woods’s background in spirits and Nagle’s business acumen to create Maine’s craft distilling scene from the ground up. They named it after the historic Wiggly Bridge, a small pedestrian suspension bridge that’s become a local landmark just down the road. The operation focuses on small-batch vodka, gin, and seasonal spirits, with everything distilled on-site using a custom copper still system they installed themselves. What started as two friends with a shared vision has grown into a genuine destination where you can watch the entire process from grain to glass. The building itself tells a story—exposed beams, brick walls, and large windows that flood the production area with natural light. They’ve managed to keep that neighborhood feel while producing spirits that have gained recognition throughout New England.
