To The Vodka Lovers On My List....
My future father-in-law turned me on to the Best Vodka I have ever tasted. When he told me about it,I laughed to myself and thought,yeah right, He said it was distilled in Austin,Texas;which enhanced my doubt about his claims. Austin,Texas is not a place you would think of when thinking of top-shelf vodka.
It's called "Tito's Handmade Vodka". He sent me over part of a bottle to try. Knowing that I drink my vodka "Shaken & Chilled"; he asked me to try a taste straight from the bottle first, before taking a drink chilled. I thought what the hell & turned up the bottle & took a taste. Much to my surprise & utter joy it went down smooth as spring water,with no aftertaste whatsoever. Stunned,I took another drink with the same pleasant result. I broke out my shaker & some ice and fixed me a "good double". I downed it and it was the best tasting,easiest drinking vodka that I had ever tried. It is distilled six times in small copper pot stills & is filtered through activated carbon. And this is the "kicker"....it made from Corn!
For the entire story on this "Nectar of the Vodka Gods"; go to www.titos-vodka.com or just "google" Tito's Vodka". The guy that makes it has an Awesome Website that will give you all of the details about how he got started in this business & about how it's made. And the other "kicker" is that it is not over priced. A 750ml bottle sells in the $15-$17 range. So to all the vodka lovers on my list;Please,do yourself a favor and give "Tito's" a try. I guarantee you will love it & and you'll be "Buying American"!
Peace,
