Adirondack Barrel Cooperage makes American white oak barrels for spirits and wine at its Glenville, New York cooperage. Described as New York’s first cooperage since the 1940s, the company is led by Joe and Kelly Blazosky and combines air-dried, aged wood and hand toasting with precision milling and temperature-controlled charring. ADK keeps production deliberately low, tests every barrel before shipment, and offers custom guidance from its master cooper along with on-site rickhouse storage.
