Sandy River Distillery

About

Owners Mark and Candice Smith both grew up in Saint Maarten, a 36 sq mile island in the East Caribbean, where they initially met and bonded over their love for travel and adventure. They have been able to experience countless different cultures with their own traditions when it comes to distilling spirits. Their love for travel and adventure and taste of food and drink, have led them to honor each culture, with the spirits that derive from each country they visit. The shipping containers on our property represent exploration of the places we’ve been, representing the imports and exports of the world’s diversity and what better way than by taste of spirits . We are striving to bring unique spirits to the heart of Virginia, test the boundaries of traditional products, create and import any and all that taste delectable.
