Akron. Newstead. WNY.

The Old Scotland Road Distillery sits on land that has been in the Hyder family for three generations in small-town, Akron. Visit us for a taste and you’re sure to be greeted cheerfully by our friends and family.

Our rural tasting room is directly adjacent to our distillery—and the Master Distiller loves to break-down our process. Come in for a tour anytime or book in advance.

Outdoor Patio & Tasting Room

Open year round! Our patio is both heated and enclosed.

Looking back on the days of Prohibition, (January 17th, 1920 — December 5th, 1933) we take note of the curiosity, creativity and ambition of those 5,071 dark days.

While we’ve upgraded from the old ways of innovation, it’s a time in history that surely fuels us. Back then, folks made their own “hooch” in stills far more antiquated than what we use today.

Come take a peek at our new-age copper pot still to see how similar the construction still is!

We’re proud to be a part of the long, colorful, storied history of distilling in America, and we hope that Handlebar Whiskey will become a part of that history in the future.
