Tito’s Handmade Vodka is distilled from corn and is certified gluten-free. It is batch distilled in old-fashioned pot stills, similar to fine single malt scotches and high-end French cognacs. This time-honored method of distillation requires more skill and effort than modern column stills, but it’s well worth it. Only the heart of the run, “the nectar” is taken, leaving behind residual higher and lower alcohols. Critics have said Tito’s is “a homegrown symphonic spirit to applaud” and that it “can go head to head with any of the worlds’ greats and not break a sweat.

Try a Tito’s Classic if you want to keep it clean and simple. This is how Tito prefers to drink his vodka! Just add 1.5oz of Tito’s Handmade Vodka and 4oz of water to a rocks glass with ice. Garnish with a lemon slice.

The initial nosing passes find subtle traces of charcoal and roasted grain which are followed by sweeter aromas of sweet grain mash and pipe tobacco. Entry is smoky and charred; the midpalate is oily, moderately viscous, semisweet and robust. Ends on a delicious oily, bacon-like note. A very well-made American pot still vodka. Best Buy.
