Zachary Robinson

Head Distiller & Co-Founder

In the Spring of 2010, Zack travelled to Normandy and visited Chateau d’Englequeville. Standing in the barn of the chateau tasting different Calvados and Pommeau, he knew then and there he would become a distiller someday.

Zack sports a diverse background in chemistry, education, and history. After earning a masters in synthetic organic chemistry from Northeastern University, Zack spent several years in the pharmaceutical industry conducting research in early drug discovery. He preferred to apply his chemistry skills to something that was more fulfilling, and finally decided to pursue his dream of becoming a distiller.

Zack is an innovative, diligent chemist with an ambitious devotion to creativity. Whether it’s producing a new spirit, building a bar or drafting up future plans, Zack is always constructing new ideas that push boundaries. He’s intensely passionate about leading Short Path Distillery to new heights while keeping our fundamental roots to community and quality in tact.
