All Points West Mid-Atlantic Pot Still Rye
All Points West Mid-Atlantic Pot Still Rye
Reviving a lost American Classic.
Starting with distiller Wilhelm Hendriksen in 1640 on the Kill Van Kull which connects Newark’s & New York’s bays, until 1972 when the last rye distillery closed in Maryland and 1989 when the last rye distillery closed in Pennsylvania, Mid-Atlantic Rye was America’s true small grain whiskey. Later when the Mid-Atlantic Rye brands were reintroduced by Kentucky distilleries the Kentucky distillers used their bourbon know-how to create the high corn Kentucky Style Rye we know today. Reviving tradition, All Points West Distillery recreates and distills an authentic, small grain, corn-free, Mid-Atlantic Rye.
Following the recommendations of Irving Hirsch, who in the 1930’s out of his office on Frelinghuysen Ave in Newark NJ reinvented post-Prohibition distillation, our rye is distilled from: Rye, Barley, and a mix of malted grains.
Made at All Points West Distillery from grain to bottle.
All Points West Trans-Atlantic Pot Still Whiskeys
Outlawed in the UK in 1909, "Whiskey of the Year" in 2019.
All Points West revives a historic whiskey style deemed “too American.”
Distilled in New Jersey.
Starting with the repeal of the Corn Laws in 1846, American ‘Indian’ Corn crossed the Atlantic and was used as part of the un-malted grain bill in UK pot and patent still whiskeys. In 1908 a Royal Commission on the materials and process permitted in Irish and Scottish whiskey was convened. Despite over 50 years of production, this commission outlawed corn in Pot Still Whiskey for being too American in flavor. All Points West Distillery distills and has revived two expressions of this lost style.

Protected Watersheds in the Appalachian Highlands
With 35,000 Acres of protected watershed in the Appalachian foothills, Newark New Jersey had by 1920, 26 operational breweries. These breweries, supplied with amazing water and driven by the passion (and thirst) of multiple generations of Scottish, Irish, and German immigrants made the most popular beers in the US. Today none of these breweries remain. All Points West Distillery brings back alcohol production to Newark and taps again into the water from Newark’s protected watersheds in the foothills of the Appalachian Highlands.
