hese award-winning, gluten-free, handcrafted spirits, made
from local ingredients, are ideal for stocking the bar during the
holidays. ADK Vodka is chill-filtered through Herkimer diamonds,
quartz crystals mined nearby that purify the vodka and create a clean,
smooth finish. ADK Gin, one of the few gluten-free gins available on
the market, is a blend of 10 botanicals and essential oils, including
Alpine bilberries, which are native to the Adirondack region. 1,000
Stills White Whisky is corn whiskey lightly aged in an uncharred
American oak barrel. Chill-filtering and double distilling creates an
unexpected smoothness. 601 Bourbon is 100 percent corn bourbon
aged in new American oak barrels with notes of caramel, smoke, and
raisin. Adirondack Distilling Co.; 315.316.0387;
