Description
The All Points West Malt and Grain Pot Still Whiskey is a unique expression that revives an old tradition. In 1846 the Corn Laws trade restrictions on imported grain and food in the United Kingdom were repealed, signifying a shift towards free trade in the UK. That was when Indian corn started coming in from across the pond, finding its way into the unmalted grain bills of whisky. Then, in 1908, a commission was formed, deeming malt and corn pot-still whisky “too American” and inherently dangerous, as its sales would rise along with the palates of the Englishmen getting accustomed to corn-based whiskies. The style faded away and is making a return with All Points West’s “Trans-Atlantic” whiskey malt whiskey in an Irish pot-still style.The craft whiskey is mashed, fermented, distilled in small 150-gallon pot stills, and aged the entire process taking place at their base of operations in Ironbound. Irish and German malt is combined with corn and water from the protected Newark Watersheds in the Appalachian Highlands. The spirit is then aged for a minimum of 24 months in new American oak before being bottled at 92 proof. It has been awarded the Gold Medal and named “Whisky of the Year” by the USA Spirits Ratings.Grab a bottle today!
