Skiing in West Virginia – you betcha. Smooth Ambler Spirits sits just down the road from Snowshoe Mountain in Greenbrier County. It is a region known for its rushing rivers, which attracted the distillery’s founders in 2008. A year and a half later they were set up to produce what they call true ‘grain to glass’ vodka, gin, and whiskey with their own on-site grain mill. Polished using Smooth Ambler’s own ‘chill-filtration’ process, Whitewater Vodka has been said to have ‘tropical’ undertones that ‘leave your mouth cool and minty, a sign of quality distillation.’ The next time you shred the South, be sure to get some. $30/750 ml. smoothambler.com
