All Points West Distillery
Maybe if he had never read Philip Roth’s American Pastoral, which stopped him on page 11 with a gritty ode to old industrial Newark and its soft water, Gil Spaier would still be a practicing architect and not an award-winning whiskey maker.
But the passage piqued Spaier’s interest in the waves of immigrants who had pioneered and staffed Newark’s breweries in the Ironbound, the neighborhood into which he and his wife had just moved.
Fast-forward 16 years. In August, Spaier’s barely 2-year-old craft distillery, All Points West, located in the Ironbound, won three awards in the prestigious annual competition run by USA Spirits Ratings.
His 92 proof Malt and Grain Pot-Still Whiskey won a gold medal, was named Whisky of the Year, and, for its understated bottle design and informative labeling, earned Best Spirit of the Year by Packaging.
