50 Best Spirits!
AMS starts off 2016 with 2 Gold Medals!
Appalachian Mountain Spirits received two (2) Gold Medals for our Virginia Sweetwater Shiners’ Gold and Revelations Single Malt Whisky from Fifty Best in a nationwide taste testing competition.
The Fifty Best held a blind tasting of moonshines, unaged American whiskies and single malt whiskies with a panel of 15 judges. Strict tasting rules were applied. The order of service was established beforehand by lottery. The moonshines, unaged American whiskies and single malt whiskies were poured into fresh glasses from new sealed bottles and served at slightly above room temperature. Each of the moonshines, unaged American whiskies and single malt whiskies were evaluated and scored separately. Only ice water, neutral unflavored crackers and chips were available to cleanse the palate.
AMS invites you to try one of our award winning spirits. Pick up a bottle or two and enjoy! Shine’ On Responsibly.
