Tito's Vodka 1.75L
Tito's Handmade Vodka is produced by Fifth Generation, Inc., the company founded in 1997 by Bert "Tito" Beveridge at the Mockingbird Distillery in Austin, Texas. Beveridge, who studied geology and geophysics before working in the oil and gas industry, taught himself to distill and secured the first legal distilling permit in the state's history. What began as a small operation producing just 1,000 cases in its first year has grown into one of the best-selling vodka brands in the country, though production remains centered at the original southeast Austin site.
Unlike vodkas made from wheat or potatoes, Tito's is distilled entirely from yellow corn, giving it a naturally gluten-free base and a softer, slightly sweet character. The spirit passes through old-fashioned copper pot stills six separate times, a labor-intensive process aimed at achieving maximum smoothness and clarity. It is left unaged and bottled at 80 proof, or 40% ABV, with the corn base contributing a rounded, gentle finish rather than the sharper edge found in grain or potato vodkas.
On the palate, Tito's is silky and clean, with subtle corn sweetness and a neutral, crisp finish that avoids any harsh burn. That versatility makes it equally suited to sipping chilled or serving as the backbone of a cocktail.
