Tito's Vodka is the brainchild of Tito Beveridge — a former geologist who founded what became Texas' first and oldest legal distillery in Austin. The brand has since grown into one of America's biggest craft spirits success stories, and having tasted the vodka, the growth is well deserved.
Made from corn — the quintessential American grain — and distilled six times, Tito's has a character distinct from European wheat and rye vodkas. The nose is sweet and gentle, with an unmistakable corn sweetness, a touch of vanilla, and a creamy quality. On the palate, that corn character translates to a rounder, softer spirit than you would get from wheat — more bourbon country than Baltic state.
Six distillations ensure smoothness without stripping away the corn personality entirely. There is enough flavour here to make neat sipping pleasant, while the clean profile makes it a versatile mixer. In a Moscow Mule, the corn sweetness plays beautifully against ginger beer's spice.
At £26.50, Tito's offers genuine value. The 'craft' label is sometimes applied loosely in the spirits world, but Tito's earned it — this began as a genuine small-batch operation, and the quality control has been maintained even as production has scaled. A solid, reliable, and thoroughly American vodka.
