Tito's Handmade Vodka 700ml - American Craft, No Gimmicks

Tito's Handmade Vodka is produced by Fifth Generation Inc. in Austin, Texas. The brand was founded by Bert "Tito" Beveridge in 1997 and remains independently owned. Tito's is one of the pioneers of the American craft vodka movement, building its reputation on small batch methods and a straightforward, quality first approach.

The production process starts with 100 percent corn, which gives Tito's a mild sweetness and soft finish. Unlike most vodkas that use high output column stills, Tito's uses traditional copper pot stills for distillation. This is a slower, more hands on method that allows for precise control over flavor and purity. Each batch is distilled six times and taste tested before bottling. Tito's contains no added sugar or artificial ingredients and is naturally gluten free.

In the glass, Tito's is crystal clear. The nose is subtle, expect a gentle aroma of sweetcorn and a hint of black pepper. The palate is smooth and rounded, with light notes of grain sweetness and a whisper of pepper spice. The finish is clean and short, with no burn or aftertaste.

Tito's is built for versatility. It blends seamlessly into classic cocktails like vodka tonic, Moscow Mule, and Bloody Mary. Thanks to its smooth texture, it also works well sipped neat or straight from the freezer. The mild sweetness from the corn base means it stands up well in simple mixed drinks, but never overpowers.

Compared to mainstream options like Smirnoff or Absolut, Tito's offers a rounder texture and more character. Bartenders recommend it for its balance and reliability, and it has become a staple in bars and home collections across the US.

If you are after a vodka that combines American craft with consistent quality, Tito's is a solid choice, approachable, dependable, and ready for anything from cocktails to casual sipping.
