Tito`s Vodka – Texas E04

Tito’s Handmade Vodka is produced in Austin at Texas’ first and oldest legal distillery. It’s made in small batches in an old-fashioned pot still by Tito Beveridge, a 45-year-old Geologist, and distilled six times. Tito’s Handmade Vodka is designed to be savoured by spirit connoisseurs. It is micro-distilled in an old-fashioned pot still, just like 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. Tito’s Vodka handcrafted technique offers more control over the distillation process, resulting in a spectacularly clean product of incomparable excellence. Only the heart of the run, “the nectar” is taken, leaving behind residual higher and lower alcohols.

The vodka is cleansed of phenols, esters, congeners and organic acids by filtering it through the finest activated carbon available.
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 mid-palate is oily, moderately viscous, semi-sweet and robust. Ends on a delicious oily, bacon-like note. A very well-made American pot still vodka.
