Louie, Ashley, Jennifer, and Patrick started off with their brand of cocktail mixers, Potent Potables Mixers, in 2020. While in lockdown, they began experimenting in their own kitchens, creating homemade cocktail mixers from fresh juices, homemade syrups, and quality ingredients. &#8220;We began sharing bottles with friends, and the response quickly turned into a growing following at local farmers\u2019 markets and our Middletown storefront,\u201d the Wheelhouse team tells us.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 2024, an unexpected opportunity arose for the team to expand into the distillery business. A vendor friend they had met at the farmers market was preparing to retire from his rum distilling business, Dachshund Distilling Co. With his guidance and encouragement, the team at Potent Potables Mixers learned the ins and outs of running a distillery and moved into the space that would later become Wheelhouse.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The team describes Wheelhouse as \u201ca place where our love of fresh ingredients, thoughtfully crafted spirits, and creative cocktails all come together. More than just a distillery, we set out to create a welcoming neighborhood gathering place where people can relax, connect, and enjoy a great drink!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><em>Read More:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/jerseyshore\/jersey-shore-bars-restaurants-fall-winter\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Restaurants + Bars Where You Won\u2019t Miss That Jersey Shore Vibe Year-Round<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><b>The Story Behind the Name<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-239673 \" src=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/jerseyshore\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/10\/wheelhouse-distilling-co-bradley-beach.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"450\"><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The name Wheelhouse was inspired by one of the owners\u2019 past lives working on the water. Louie previously worked for a local ferry company as a licensed mate (second in command on the vessel), where he spent a lot of time in the wheelhouse. On a boat, the wheelhouse is the place where the captain, mate, and crew work together to navigate and steer the ship.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cLong hours spent in the wheelhouse &#8211; whether manning the helm or keeping watch &#8211; became a place for collaboration, brainstorming, and conversation,\u201d the team shared with us. \u201cIt was where different perspectives were welcomed, no idea was off limits, and plenty of laughs were shared along the way.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>The Spirits<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-239673 \" src=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/jerseyshore\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/10\/wheelhouse-distilling-co-bradley-beach-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"450\"><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wheelhouse creates a variety of spirits, including rum, bourbon, and vodka, which are all used in their specialty cocktails and are available to purchase in bottles. The rum and bourbon are distilled in-house, while the bourbon is sourced from Kentucky and made using their own mash bill. The flagship spirit and bestseller is the Dead Reckoning Bourbon, which is offered in both standard strength and barrel strength, is 120 proof straight out of the barrel and filtered.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The team loves to experiment with different variations, including a tallow wash and a Kerrygold butter wash bourbon. These variations are made by adding either melted tallow or Kerrygold butter to bourbon, which is then filtered out after 24 hours. The end product is a silky smooth bourbon with added flavor and dimension.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The team also distills vodka, which comes in a handful of flavors. Tailwind Vodka is the traditional version, and the Vanilla Bean Vodka is a sweet take on the liquor. Both are available via retail to the public. The team also experiments with its vodka to make cocktails for the tasting room, such as a Thai Chili and lime-infused vodka.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In homage to the rum distillery that came before, Wheelhouse offers several varieties of rum, including White Rum, Spiced Rum, Aged Rum, and Toasted Coconut Rum.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><em>JSG<\/em> pro tip: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Take home a bottle of Potent Potables Mixers in addition to your spirits so you can become an at-home mixologist.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>The Tasting Room<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-239673 \" src=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/jerseyshore\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/10\/wheelhouse-distilling-co-bradley-beach-2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"450\"><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Wheelhouse team tells us that their biggest hit so far has been their Old Fashioned. Its most popular version is the Dead Reckoning Old Fashioned, which is made with Dead Reckoning Bourbon, bitters, agave, and a cherry, poured over a large ice cube and garnished with fresh orange peel. They also offer a selection of specialty Old Fashioneds, such as the Sea Smoke smoked Old Fashioned, as well as a rotating selection of seasonal variations.
