MARK THIESSEN,Associated Press Writer WASILLA, Alaska (AP) - The Alaska Distillery in Wasilla just recently launched its Smoked Salmon Flavored Vodka, about a year after the Seattle-based Black Rock Spirits introduced a bacon-flavored vodka.

Both savory spirits were intended to complement Bloody Marys, but are finding wider uses among mixologists.

"I think there was some madness and some drunkenness involved, honestly," said Toby Foster, an Alaska Distillery partner and the one charged with coming up with new flavors with Alaska themes.

Foster's intent was to market a local vodka which would stand out among the numerous other bottles on the liquor store shelves.

Black Rock Spirits introduced a bacon-flavored vodka.

I'd like to try it but I don't think they sell it in California.

There are many smoke-infused beers that have a hint of smokey, bacon. I also know Brooklyn Brewery in NYC was experimenting with a brew that included actual bacon fat, but I never got to try it. Did I mention I love bacon.

Saw an episode of ‘Dinners, Drive-ins, and Dives’ where they made donuts rolled in bacon bits. Probably taste better than the bacon vodka.

Scotland breathlessly awaits the “haggis” flavored vodka, while Atlanta is getting the hots for the “chitlins” variety.

Are you sure? It could give you one heck of a haddock.

Not guilty. And if she was she would still be not guilty.
