Tasting Notes

About:

Appearance:
In a glass, 601 Bourbon appears light honey brown, indicative of a young whiskey bottled at a relatively low proof. In addition, it seems that Adirondack does not chill-filter 601 Bourbon, as some light sediment (possibly fatty acids) is visible in the whiskey.
Nose:
On the nose, 601 bourbon includes light notes of sweet corn and vanilla that give way to faint hints of pecan. Overall, this bourbon emits a very light aroma. dominates. In the mid
Palate:
On the front of the palate, the sweet corn note from the nose dominates. In the mid palate, the sweet corn note diminishes, and a light bitter note of dry oak balances the flavor. For the finish, the sweet corn and dry oak notes continue, while a light pepper note leaves a slightly dry finish. Final Thoughts & Score: In the craft whiskey category, Adirondack’s 601 Bourbon falls right in the middle of the pack. The flavor profile for this bourbon is completely acceptable but pretty one-dimensional. Furthermore, the flavor profile seems well-suited to spending additional time in the barrel, so older offerings of this bourbon would be of interest.
