Our Cooperage
Welcome to ZAK Cooperage, a leading 3rd generation family-owned cooperage established in 1990 and nestled in the heart of Athertonville, Kentucky. As one of the largest global manufacturers of new 53-gallon whiskey barrels, we take pride in our commitment to quality and craftsmanship.
At ZAK Cooperage, we source all our white oak from a radius of approximately 150 miles around our location. This unique sourcing approach ensures that our barrels capture the true essence of the limestone-rich region, resulting in a distinct and authentic flavor profile.
We offer a range of custom toasting and charring options tailored to suit your unique flavor preferences. Whether you prefer a light toast for delicate notes or a heavy char for robust flavors, our expert craftsmen can create the perfect barrel to elevate your spirits.
