About New Scotland Spirits Tasting Room
New Scotland Spirits Tasting Room is the company flagship tucked into Albany’s Center Square, serving an elegant Prohibition‑era speakeasy experience. The bar showcases house‑distilled wheat, rye, bourbon and single malt Helderberg whiskies, plus six‑times‑distilled vodka and gin, all from grains grown on Upstate family farms. Expect handcrafted cocktails, NY‑only beer, mead, wine and cider, plus coffee and refined non‑alcoholic options in a quiet, intimate setting.
What to Order
Helderberg Old Fashioned
A signature, slow‑stirred cocktail layering 5–7 year Helderberg rye with house bitters and a citrus twist for a silky, oak‑forward sip.
Farmer’s Board
Curated selection of Upstate NY cheeses, charcuterie, and pickles — a local‑first pairing for the distillery’s whiskies and spirits.
Speakeasy Chocolate Tart
Rich dark chocolate tart finished with a drizzle of barrel‑aged spirit syrup — the perfect sweet partner to a nightcap.
