Written on the Bottle
Tito's Handmade Vodka, Unanimous Double Gold Medal Winner of the World Spirits Competition! Distilled six times. Tito's Handmade vodka is designed to be savored by spirit connoisseurs. It is micro-distilled in an old-dashioned pot still, just like the 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. Our 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 it filtering it through the finest activated carbon available. Critics call Tito's "a homegrown symphonic spirit to applaud" and say, "it can go head to head with any of the world's greats and not break a sweat!" Shake once from the freezer. It's in the bottle, so enjoy! No sugar or gelatin added.
Review
I received a suggestion from a reader to review Tito's Handmade Vodka. He said all other vodka was swill compared to Tito's. I decided I should find that vodka as soon as I could. It took awhile, but I finally got my hands on Tito's Handmade Vodka.
According to the website, they'd rather spend money on developing the vodka than marketing. That shows from the utter lack of advertising and simple packaging. While it won't make them a ton of money, I appreciate the goal of the company. The laid back attitude of the Austin, Texas based distiller is right up my ally.
The Shot
I wasn't expecting anything, but I was floored by this vodka. The shot, even warm, is completely neutral. Tito's Handmade Vodka is simply ethanol and water. The only taste is the standard ethanol burn. The shot went down smooth and required no chaser. Tito's vodka achieved the goal of making a vodka even girls could drink straight. This is a wonderful shooting vodka.
The Mixed Drink
I mixed Tito's Handmade Vodka with Simply Orange Juice. The screwdriver is what you'd expect if you were mixing water with your orange juice instead of vodka. The vodka doesn't alter the flavor at all beyond making the orange juice taste diluted as though you left ice cubes sitting in it.
Opinions
Tito's Handmade Vodka is vodka at its finest. It is perfect for sipping or mixing. Even at double the price, Tito's would still be worth every penny. If you can buy Tito's Handmade Vodka in your area, you should be drinking it.

A buddy of mine recently brought a frozen bottle of Tito's from his freezer to an Eagles game tailgate. I expected a Gordons type vodka but was very pleasantly surprised. It is excellent. I drank a quarter of the bottle straight from the bottle. Needless to say it was an ugly tail gate and game. I've been a 100% Stoli drinker for years. I am switching, or at least, splitting time between these two vodka from now on. Great site. Thnaks for the review and confirmation.

Wow, this stuff is good.
i found it at a local liquor store for $20 for 1L, which is sorta a mid-shelf price, but it is so smooth! it has virtually no flavor, and only a slight burn. I love this stuff mixed with citrus sodas. I think i am going to try to do some infusions with it next.

Hi, I have been reading somre of your reviews and I have to say I contrast with many of them, specially this one. First of all, I'm not attacking your opinion, I'm just espressing mine. So how could this spirit define itself as vodka? Vodka is made from grain, like all the well renowned easter european vodkas, not from corn. And is it good to drink a mixture of 'simply ethanol and water'? The best vodkas I have tasted, U'luvka, Stolichnaya Elit and Belvedere, have a very delicatte vanilla essence in their flavour, they are not just a mixture of pharmaceutical grade ethil alcohol and potable water.

@Daniel
Sorry for replying so long from when you posted. Apparently my e-mail notices aren't working.
According to Wikipedia, field corn is a grain ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maize ). So, it qualifies for use in vodka. In addition to grain, potatoes and sugar beet molasses can be used to make vodka. I believe the official ruling after the Vodka Wars ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vodka_war ) said anything not made from the traditional ingredients should have a special notice, though that reference seems to have been removed since I read it awhile ago.
It's clear to me now that what people expect from a vodka varies from place to place (if not from person to person). Eastern Europe seem to like to have some kind of tastable bitter-based flavor. Some areas prefer a sweet-based flavor. Others, including America, I think, prefer the vodka to be neutral.
My argument is this: Pure grain ethanol is flavorless. If it has flavor, there are probably impurities. Pure water is virtually flavorless. Mix them together, and the resulting vodka would be virtually flavorless, as well. I haven't the technology to determine where the flavors of some vodkas come from. Therefore, I can't say if it comes from the taste of the water used, the distillation method, the filtering method, other impurities, etc.
So, there is some art to producing a good vodka, whether it has subtle flavors or is flavorless. What you like best is your preference. I don't down rate vodkas with subtle flavors unless the flavor is offensive.

I just bought a bottle of Tito's in my local liquer store. I really didn't expect to find vodka this rare in my local upstate New York liquer store. This is a great vodka, the best I ever had. I was $29.99 for 1.75 liter bottle. It goes down really easy, has virtually no aftertaste and you could do a number of shots without gagging or feeling sick (like some vodkas out there). I am really excited I finally tried it!

One more reason to love Austin, TX... I had Tito's for the first time in October 2008, and it was Love at First Shot for me. I started out the night drinking Cranberry/Tito's, and I quickly found that I could mix these drinks much stronger than with most vodkas. Thankfully the gracious hosts of the glorious event had purchased several bottles of Tito's. None of which, I believe, survived the night. Since then I've had Tito's several times, and experimented more with using it as a shooting or sipping vodka. This vodka is clearly awesome in mixed drinks, but that stems from the fact that it is so smooth by itself. If I was purely drinking mixed drinks all night, some other vodkas might overcome Tito's. But as far as a sipping straight or shooting vodka goes, Tito's is the Bees Knees. Go get some.

I finally got the opportunity to try Tito's today, picked up a handle and the local liquor store. Thus far I have only had a non-chilled shot as I was too impatient to try it to wait for the freezer. I am extremely impressed, even warm this vodka is incredibly smooth. As I was then curious I followed that with a shot of Sobieski from the freezer, I almost think the Tito's was smoother than the frozen Sobieski, at any rate it was extremely close in smoothness. Overall there was just something about the Tito's I liked better. This may become my new standby.
As a side note for those in the NY Capital District both Hoosick Liquor on Rt 7 in Troy and Plaza Liquor farther up the road in the same plaza as Price Chopper (I think you're technically in Brunswick at that point) carry Tito's. Hoosick was out but told me they do stock it and were ordering more, Plaza had a few bottles on hand at $29.99 for a handle.

@Rich, I did the same thing. I just happen to find my first bottle at a liquor store I don't go to very often. As soon as I got back to my friend's place, we couldn't wait long enough to chill it. Tito's and 360 are the only two vodkas I've had warm that I thought, "that's better than a lot of other vodkas frozen."

Rich said on Apr 07, 2009 at 1:28 am...
Hmm, now I'll have to get my hands on some 360 to try then. That might be a harder find as I definitely don't remember seeing it at either of the local places.

Austin Smith said on Apr 11, 2009 at 9:36 pm...
I picked up some Titos about an hour ago. Threw it in a shaker and stirred it up with some ice, strained it and it was time for the test.
The initial taste was, well no taste. As it continued to slide over my tongue I noticed a slight appearance of some kind of flavor. This is by far one of the smoothest vodkas I have had. But that after taste is almost indescribable. It left my mouth feeling a bit slippery, maybe it has to do with being distilled from corn?
Sipping next to 360 made me realize that there are two distinct sensations stemming subsequently from the descent of the vodka, from the mouth into the stomach. For Tito's it is the appearance of that taste that begins on the back of your tongue and slowly makes it way to your whole mouth, which for me is not very pleasant, but that not that unpleasant. For 360, its a slight burn which leaves the pallet feeling clean and refreshed, with little to no taste that I can distinguish.
Over all, I am not sure if I will buy this again. The price wasn't bad but wasn't great. I gave it too my wife to try first, which resulted in a scrutched up face and a shrugging of the shoulders. Price ended up being 36 for 1.75L.
But again, everyone's tastes are different. It all depends on the pallet...

Finally got around to trying this vodka. Normally, it sells for $20 or more in my area, so I wasn't in any hurry. I recently saw a fifth for $16.99 and I had to act. I took a cold shot and was impressed by how easy it was to drink. It went down easy like Svedka, but there was no bad aftertaste. I followed with a shot of Sobieski, which was more noticable going down and had a stronger aftertaste. I capped it off by shooting Tito's one more time and came away impressed. Tito's is probably the best vodka I've had thus far. Of the 16 brands I've tried in 2009, this one is tops. (Here's a list...)
Stolichnaya
Smirnoff
Absolut
Skyy
Sobieski
Finlandia
Svedka
UV
Boru
Vox
3 Olives
Opulent
Pinnacle
Korski
Russian Standard
Tito's

If 6 distillations is great then how about 8 or 15 or ....! Its not just distilling that makes a fine vodka its many other factors and ingrediants as well. For my money corn is for whisky not vodka. Grain is better but some vodkas with grain taste more like rubbing alcohol. I go with potato vodka if given a choice; smooth creamy and sumptious on the palate. For the best of the potato vodkas I like Chopin and Luksusova. If budget is a concern go with the Luksusova,
it is a tremendous vodka at a very reasonable price.

After reading this review, I was pleasantly surprised to see a 1.75L bottle of Tito's at my local liquor store for $20.99. Svedka had been my standard for over two years and I had turned to Stoli as my preferred "one-step-up" vodka. Imagine my surprise to find Tito's was priced the same at Svedka and tasted better than my beloved Stoli! Unfortunately, 1.75L prices seem to have risen a good $8 over when I first found Tito's (I imagine due to word-of-mouth about this excellent vodka), but it's still an excellent deal. Having graduated college, I'm now 2 hours away from the nearest liquor store I know which carries Tito's; however, any time I'm vising my parents (conveniently close to said liquor store), I pick up a bottle or two. This is superb vodka.

I'm glad you liked Tito's. One of our favorites around here. The prices have held steady here in Alabama, though. You might want to find another store and do some price comparisons.

After being introduced to Tito's in New Orleans (after ordering Grey Goose), I became a fan. On a vacation to Kennebunkport/Cape Porpoise, I tried to find Tito's at a local general store (Bradbury Bros), surprised that the resident Texans hadn't introduced it up there.
True to their customer service, they stocked it before the end of the week. I've wondered if it became popular with locals yet.

If it is getting promoted, I'm sure it is a hit. If not, people are probably still buying Goose.

After discovering that I preferred Ketel One to Grey Goose, the next vodka I had a chance to experiment with was Tito's. I was determined to shoot as high as I could in test tasting vodkas to learn where my newbie taste buds would take me compared to what I was reading at this forum, and I was thrilled to find Tito's at a local liquor store. Later that night, I made a vodka martini straight up with olives, and was floored by how smooooth it was with Tito's. Wow! It reminded me of the Ketel One martini that I had a couple nights before when dining out, but was even smoother and had even less hint of bitterness. Both were similarly impressive in keeping down the alcohol burn upon swallowing, but Tito's was less oily and made for a crisper drink. Ketel One had beaten Grey Goose, and now Tito's Handmade beat Ketel One, in turn. Very nice!

I keep at least 20 different vodkas in my home bar (it's a big bar) and Tito's is always the first one I reach for when pouring a drink. A couple of ice cubes and some Tito's and I'm a happy man.

slcmetalhead said on Jan 30, 2010 at 10:20 pm...
I have to say, I was completely UNimpressed by this vodka. Smooth? Not really. It smells like rubbing alcohol, and it's got a strong bite to it as well (drinking it straight). Not nearly as neutral as, say, Russian Standard. It's pretty easy going down the throat, but I can't say I care for the flavor. It's got a slight pleasant sweetness to it, but that's drowned out by the caustic septic flavor that comes with it.
As a mixer it's fine, but then so are a lot of other vodkas. If mixing is what you're doing with your vodka, I'd say save your money and go with something like Monopolowa ($15 a LITER here in UT, and perfectly good as a mixer).
Overall, I'd say Tito's is better than a vodka like Smirnoff, but it's not worth $20 a fifth, and it's not fit for drinking straight. My personal favorite for shots and martinis is still the Russian Standard series.
I gave Tito's 2 stars, taking into consideration both flavor and price.

I finally found a store that stocks this and was able to try it. I have to say, after all the hype and positive reviews, I'm disappointed. It burns the throat significantly more than all the other vodkas I've had lately, and has a somewhat unpleasant bitterness going down and in the aftertaste. I haven't tried mixing it yet though. #1 all-around best vodka for the money to me is still Sobieski.

@Jason, It's really, really hard to beat the value of Sobieski.

Jason said on Feb 15, 2010 at 2:39 pm...
What puzzles me is how I can agree with the reviews of most other vodkas on here, yet when it comes to Tito's which is so favorably reviewed except by a few, I'm among the few who did not have such a positive experience with it. I know everybody's palates are different, but is it possible that the guys at Tito's are inconsistent in their batches, or is it possible for bottles to become contaminated, changing the taste?
Reply to This
Robert said on Feb 15, 2010 at 3:10 pm...
@Jason I think either is possible. Tito's is small batch vodka, which can have varying results, from what I understand. Maybe wait a few months and try again?
Reply to This
Jason said on Feb 16, 2010 at 2:48 pm...
I won't argue that Tito's is very neutral and clean while in the mouth, but it's after the swallow that gets to me. I'd say slcmetalhead's description comes very close to what I experienced. The taste while swallowing and the aftertaste, which really sticks hard for me, is somewhat bitter-sweet, not horrible, but was actually enough to make me go "blech" once and even spit it out once. It seems to mix quite well though, but so do others that cost less than it. I'll give this one another try though when I find it at another store, we'll see if this was actually a botched bottle of it.
Reply to This
Jason said on Feb 16, 2010 at 5:44 pm...
Maybe my palate is just very sensitive right now, because even Sobieski leaves a bit of a bitter aftertaste for me. That said, Tito's is definitely better than Grey Goose, of which I bought a 375ml for comparison with the other vodkas I have in stock. For the money though, I would personally stick with Sobieski for now, saves me about $8.

This would be the first vodka I tried from recommendation from this website. Bam! I was blown away, because I was so used to those big commercial vodkas. I was just so uninformed about what quality vodka should be like. I fell in love after the first drink, and I wanted to know what else was out there. I became a vodka connoisseur over the next 3 months trying different vodkas suggested from this site. I became some bit of a snob over vodka, would go to parties and they would have smirnoff available. GOD! What am I doing here? I should go back home and get my vodka and show them what real vodka should taste like! But I keep my cool. And I just drink some beer and keep my mouth closed. No one likes a snob, plus they wouldn't understand anyhow. Was a big eye opener for me, thanks to everyone on this site.

Titos is very, very good vodka. The disapointing thing though is it use to be exceedingly cheap, the word got out and now they've doubled the price. It's just something personal, but when this happens this really urchs me, so I stopped buying it as a personal revolt. I allways see it on the shelf at twice what I use to pay for it, and think to my self...thats really good vodka, but I'm not buying it at that price....I should just give up the personal stand and bit the bullet, because it really is an exceptional vodka, even if I have to now pay twice what I use to for it.

This is a great Vodka. Its like Kettle One but with a slight less bitter after taste and smoother. Not to mention slightly cheaper. You will find that you feel a bit better in the morning than drinking some of the other vodkas, at least in my experience.
Its my preferred de facto standard vodka.
Its great mixed, straight on ice or in dirty martinis. If you haven't tried it you should. Why spend $30 on a vodka when you can spend $20 after tax for something that in many instances is superior?

I bought a bottle of Titos after a suggestion of this site. I must say that I found it the most pleasent vodka I have had to date. Incredibly smooth. Some burn but not enough to need a chaser to extinguish. I saw the original review stated it was neutral, I found this vodka to have more of a taste then others I have had. I assume since it is made from corn. It just seems sweeter to me.
My preferrred method for this vodka is over ice with a couple olives. Very good and easy to drink stuff. Thru half of the bottle already, gonna get the big bottle next.
Thanks vodka buzz and members for this great recommendation!

This is a great vodka for mixing. It's smooth and doesn't have a bad aftertaste. The only bad part is that before you know it, you have drank a quarter (or more!) of the bottle! Great stuff, though a little too pricey for my normal home drinking.

Being a "born again" Texan I had to try this vodka. (I wasn’t born there but got there as soon as I could).
I am no vodka aficionado, but being a big fan of Chopin on the rocks it's too pricey for the way I drink, I bought a bottle, lots less then Ketel too, that’s what I keep at home for consumption, but I heard some good things about Titos.
Great on the rocks with olives, I tasted a charcoal smoothness which was nice, no burn at all. But when I made it as a martini is when it came to fruition for me.
Very nice tasting vodka and a good value.

I had tried Tito's early in my vodka discovery quest, which began over a year and a half ago, so I have tended to ignore it on the liquor store shelves in favor of vodkas that I haven't tried yet. However, the consistently rave reviews remind me that I, too, am a fan, and should try another bottle some time soon.

I brought Tito's in to my store within the last week based on the review here. I've always favored Ketel One and was a bit hesitant to spend any decent amount of cash on something new when I'm so fond of K1.
I decided to take my first shot at room temp to see if it's really as smooth and palatable as advertised. The smell was soft and pleasant, not harsh at all. I took a half shot, letting it roll to the back of my throat to give it time to "hurt" me if it was going to. Tremendous smoothness and quite literally the best shot of vodka since my very first. There was a beautiful warmth on finishing the shot, a hint of sweetness and I'm happy to say I have a new drink.
For the record, when ordered by the case (no split case charge, and no special deal giving me free goods) Tito's fifths cost me 18.49 apiece. So I have them on the shelf for 23.09.
Beautiful drink, and I am actually excited about vodka again.

One of the smoothest vodka I have ever tried. Great value.

A bottle of this is $40.00 at my local liquor store.
Sometimes (all the time) I wonder why we moved to Canada.
Oh well - it's an excellent vodka. It has a bit of a strange taste that reminds me somewhat of cardboard combined with a mild sweetness, but even that's barely there. It's a calm vodka that soothes the tongue and warms the throat without stinging whatsoever.
It makes great liqueurs with flavors that are toppled flat by harsher products - I've never made a successful pistachio liqueur with anything otherwise.

This is a great vodka, totally pure tasting with no extraneous flavors, which I love for a vodka martini, a little dirty with an olive. I get hangovers easily, even from "top shelf" stuff like Grey Goose. No hangover from the Titos though, even after two martinis, and that's a lot for me!

Thia truly is the finest vodka in the world!!! I actually got a chance to meet Tito Beveridge (yes, thats his real name) and learn that the distillation process takes up to 7 days to make one batch of his delicious vodka compared to something like grey goose which only takes about 2-3 hours! As far as the packaging, you're right. it is simple and I asked Tito about it. He simply Yates hat of he put it in a fancy bottle, he'd have to charge 5-10 dollars more do something you throw away when you're done. It's also Gluten free since its made from 100% corn and 100% American Made. That's always nice to know especially in these times when we need to support our local business! So, buy American, buy high quality, buy gluten free, buy family owned, buy simple packaging and pay half what you would for grey goose!!!!

I don't get this site. I've read a couple of reviews and you guys says stuff like "(shot) ethanol and water...only taste is an ethanol burn." and then later "...vodka at it's finest." Don't you guys taste the vodka? Tito's, for example, has a great taste iced; very complex and herbal for a straight (unflavored vodka).

I freeze my vodka for several hours, then sip it cold for the review. Since that doesn't make for a good section title, I used "The Shot."

One of the absolute best vodkas I have ever tried. Turned many friends onto this brand and glad it's available where I'm available. Straight or mixed, it's amazing. And where I'm from, we're talking 13-15$/750ml. Amazing.

Everytime I have this vodka, I cant believe I get it for the price I do. I have turned many friends on to Tito's and they are very impressed.

Is Tito's supposed to taste just like rubbing alcohol? I swear my 20 year old son pulled a switch on my bottle!
