"As a small family-run farm distillery, we rely on every single barrel we fill in order to make our living - there's no room in our budget for leaking, poor quality, or 'green' oak. Although we have worked with other suppliers in the past, we now buy ALL our new barrels from Adirondack Barrel Cooperage. Their quality of oak, unparalleled craftsmanship, and proven reliability help ensure the superior quality of every batch of our bourbon, rye, and single malt. We will be doing business with Joe and Kelly for a very long time."
- Aaron Carvell, Old Home Distillers
“Union Grove Distillery has been using ADK cooperage exclusively since opening in 2016. The quality of the wood used in the manufacturing of their barrels is the best there is. The consistency of the char and the flavor profile we are getting in our rye whiskey has absolutely blown us and our customers away. You must use ADK cooperage barrels, you will not be disappointed.”
- Brian Mulder, Union Grove Distillery
“ADK barrels are beautifully crafted, and the proof is in the flavor of our whiskey. Even at just six months in their 10 gallon barrels, the flavor we get is mind blowing, and that, in no small part is due to the cooperage. “
- Keith Gibson, Grazin’ Spirits
“Superb barrels, and really good people.”
- Lars Hubbard, Appalachian Gap Distillery
“The barrels are truly a work of art. As distillers, this is just what we need to better our spirits.”
- Bob Beckmann, Kerrs Creek Distillery
“The finest whiskey deserves the finest barrels. From great wood selection to fine craftsmanship the ADK barrels are among the finest I’ve seen. And the flavors we get out of them when aging is done are quickly becoming the backbone of our bourbon blends.”
- Jason Barrett, Black Button Distilling
