The Alaska Distillery, looking for an Alaska theme with which to jump on the flavored-vodka bandwagon, is getting attention for its Smoked Salmon Vodka, reports The Associated Press. The thriving Wasilla distillery has shipped to Texas, will soon ship to California and is waiting for an OK from Washington state. The smoked salmon gives the vodka some of the "meatiness" that popular bacon-flavored vodkas have, says Danielle Eddy, spokeswoman for the Distilled Spirits Council of the United States.

Smoked salmon vodka is the most unique that we've heard of," Eddy said by cell phone from Scotland, where she was attending an industry event. "Bacon does lend a nice umami flavor -- it's that richness," she said. "Smoked salmon is going to add that same type of richness, but from a lighter perspective."
