What caused farmers in western Pennsylvania to revolt during the whiskey rebellion?

Simple. The chief crop was corn. It was difficult to transport anything by wagon over the Indian footpaths along mountain ridges. It was cheapest to make whiskey from corn and more profitable to transport it over the mountains to the east. Whiskey stills were prominent businesses, just as important as the blacksmith, saddler, and undertaker. When the government wanted to tax whiskey, it would have deeply cut into farmers' profits. The Whiskey Rebellion was a major fight against taxation.
