Tito’s Handmade Vodka from Texas
The word “vodka” means “little water” in Russian, its country of origin. The popular spirit contains mostly water and alcohol and one or more of the following – potato, barley, wheat, corn, molasses, or beets.
Today, there are hundreds of vodka brands available, including the big names like Absolut, Ketel One, and Grey Goose. There are also many small, independent distilleries in the world that create interesting small-batch and boutique vodkas. One of those is the award-winning Tito’s Handmade Vodka, an American vodka from Texas.
Here are some interesting details about the vodka and its founder:
- Tito’s Handmade Vodka was founded by Bert (“Tito”) Beveridge II in Austin, Texas, in 1997 with $90,000 he borrowed on 19 different credit cards.
- Beveridge is a 5th generation Texan who previously ran a dynamite seismic crew in Colombia and Venezuela, a drilling company in Houston, and dabbled in real estate.
- As a hobby, he made flavored vodka using a pot still as gifts for friends.
- The Tito’s vodka recipe is the result of taste-tests by Beveridge’s friends.
- Texas never had a legal distillery, but Beveridge got a permit and established Mockingbird Distillery, where he produced 1,000 cases in the first year.
- In 2001, Tito’s Handmade Vodka won the Double Gold Medal at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition, which meant that all of the judges chose Tito’s as the best vodka out of the 72 competitors from around the world.
- As one of the fastest-growing brands in America, Tito’s Handmade Vodka sold approximately 63 million bottles in 2017, up from 44 million in 2016.
Tito’s is distilled from yellow corn six times in an old-fashioned pot still, just like fine single malt scotches and high-end French cognacs. The corn gives it a great body and makes the vodka completely gluten-free. The vodka is 80-proof, or 40 percent alcohol by volume. It has a very smooth taste and is rich and delicious, with a mild, sweet flavor that works well, whether on the rocks, in a martini, or in any of your favorite vodka cocktails.
