Wiggle Bridge Distillery Interview I chat with David Woods, founder of Wiggly Bridge Distillery in Maine, USA, on obsession to profession, hand-making stills and never giving up. When David Woods was young, he was always tinkering with metal, fiddling around with cars and creating, even making a pick-up truck out of an old Volkswagen beetle. Years later, his son, David, mentioned at the dinner table that he wanted to build a still and make whisky in his basement – his father didn’t think this was a great idea, but that spark ignited the hobby which would lead to obsession, and ultimately, a profitable profession for both father and son. David and his wife had a little house in the Caribbean where they could play around with building a 10 gallon pot still without the tedium of getting a federal permit to do so in the US. Although not a ‘college guy’, David loves research – from learning about stills, to manufacturers to processes to moonshiners. Even more than profit, he loves research. Meticulously noting down and experimenting with every aspect of distilling reveals the joy and dedication behind the process for Wiggly Bridge.
