Description

A true corn-free Mid-Atlantic Rye.

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.
