The Albany Distilling Company’s history dates back to early 2011 when it was founded to create exceptional spirits. The company officially commenced operations in July of the following year, marking the beginning of its remarkable journey in distillery.
One of the defining moments in the company’s history was the release of their first product, a meticulously crafted whiskey. This journey began with a bourbon mash, which was initially introduced as a new make and later matured into a delightful three-month-old bourbon. This early success set the stage for the company’s future endeavors and cemented its reputation for unwavering commitment to producing premium quality spirits.
Drawing inspiration from Albany’s original 18th-century distillery, the company crafted an unaged rum based on a recipe from that era. This endeavor paid homage to the region’s distilling heritage and showcased the company’s dedication to reviving traditional recipes with a modern twist.
As the years passed, the Albany Distilling Company expanded its portfolio, introducing a diverse range of whiskeys and spirits. Notably, the company embarked on collaborative projects with other small local businesses, including Nine Pin Ciderworks and Death Wish Coffee ventures. These collaborations showcased the company’s innovative spirit and demonstrated its commitment to supporting and promoting the local community.
At the heart of the Albany Distilling Company is a small yet exceptionally talented staff dedicated to the craft of producing high-quality spirits in small batches. Their unwavering commitment to excellence and passion for innovation have earned the company a loyal following of enthusiasts who appreciate the artistry and precision that go into each bottle of spirits. With a focus on tradition, quality, and innovation, the Albany Distilling Company continues to make its mark on craft distillery, one small batch at a time.
