New Scotland Spirits Tasting Room

What to know

New Scotland Spirits opened its tasting room as a home base for the distillery’s mission: making premium grain spirits rooted in Upstate New York agriculture. Located at State & Lark in historic Center Square, the space channels a Prohibition‑era speakeasy to let visitors experience the craft and provenance behind every bottle. As a woman‑ and veteran‑owned independent producer, the company highlights regional supply chains and aged whiskies rarely found outside private collections. The tasting room turns that craftsmanship into an intimate, educational evening — one cocktail at a time.
