Wilmington, New York
U.S. Barrel
A family-owned Adirondack cooperage crafting our American oak barrels close to home.
Homegrown from the ground up
The long haul is the point.
It takes time and elbow grease to build a distillery—and more time to make spirits worthy of a dram.
Traditional values
A sense of place in every pour.
Our water flows from a spring within a few paces of the distillery. Our corn is grown in nearby Essex. Our brandy apples are picked and pressed less than thirty-five miles away.
Even our barrels are made to order at a cooperage only a couple towns over. We source locally, mash locally, and distill locally because a spirit should tell you where it came from.
The people behind the pour
Good neighbors.
Good ingredients.
