Tito's Handmade


Vodka
Purchase Price: $16
Place of Purchase: Warehouse - New York, NY
Rating: 7.9


Vodka distilled in Texas. Well, I remember getting stares of disbelief in response to this fact when I doled out glasses of this to some friends one time, and I always wondered why that fact seemed so crazy to people--I mean it's not a three-headed turtle or Gorgon or something. Actually, on second thought, Tito's is comparable to those rare and wondrous creatures because at this moment in time, it is the only domestically-distilled vodka I've ever liked! So maybe it actually deserves all the little prizes and medals and doo-hickeys it supposed to have won. And as for this "handmade" business, just what exactly do the distillery employees in Russia and Poland use to produce their respective vodkas? Tentacles? Antlers? Prosthetic hooks? Anyway, if you're the kind of consumer who strives to buy as many "Made in the USA" products as possible, this is the vodka for you. From the state that brought us Anna Nicole Smith before "they" murdered her.
