Tito's Handmade Vodka, 1.75 Litre, $25.99
Tito's Handmade Vodka was founded by sixth-generation Texan, Tito Beveridge. His career track took a few turns, but he always found time to do what he loved: make people smile with spirits. Tito got a kick out of infusing vodka for friends and handing out bottles at parties. He quickly became known as "the vodka guy." Willing to risk it all, he pursued the career of his dreams and set out to build a distillery. With a dog by his side, Tito found a plot of land in rural Austin, convinced a few friends to help him build a shack for his still and, against all odds, perfected his pot-distilled spirit. He fought Texas laws, took on nearly $90,000 of debt, and for several years, played a one-man show to get his dream going, overseeing all distilling, hand-bottling, and selling during the hours in-between. Over 25 years later, Tito's Handmade Vodka has remained true to its roots and is celebrated for its high-quality product, charitable contributions, and its goal to make people happy while making the world a better place. Made in taste-tested batches, each sip begins with notes of cinnamon, white pepper, and lemon peel followed by pepper spice, black cherry, a touch of vanilla, and a dry, impeccably clean finish.
