My buddy Scott, hosted a wake

for our buddy Bugg's, who died WAY too young. That was the first time I ever ever tasted Tito's Vodka, and it was 'scary good'. Have tried to buy it since then, but they were always 'sold out'. Found some today, and had some. It is 'scary smooth'.  Try it at your own risk. Here's what Wikipedia has to say.

    Tito's Handmade Vodka is a vodka produced in Austin, Texas, in the first legal distillery in Texas,^[1] established by Bert Butler "Tito" Beveridge II. It is made from yellow corn instead of the more commonly used wheat or potatoes, resulting in a mildly sweet aftertaste, and is distilled six times. All production is still maintained at the southeast Austin distillery, where he has expanded from one pot still to ten and from one bottling line to four. Despite the growing distribution, Fifth Generation, Inc. employs fewer than 18 people.

Tito's Handmade Vodka has gained market share thanks to some prestigious awards, affordable pricing, and word of mouth advertising. Sales and distribution boomed in 2001 after Tito's Handmade Vodka unanimously won the Double Gold Medal for vodka at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition, beating out 71 high-priced vodkas.^[2]
