 Best Vodka Label Logo: Tito's Handmade Vodka
#3 of 10 Leading Vodka Labels

Tito's Handmade Vodka

Austin, Texas

#3 of 10 Top Vodka Labels of 2014 - In 1997, Austin resident Bert Butler "Tito" Beveridge II created Texas's first legal distillery, Fifth Generation. Here, he created Tito's Handmade Vodka, which is distilled six times and, in worldwide vodka competitions, beat its more-expensive industry rivals. This vodka has an uncanny smoothness that is highly enjoyable even without a mixer or flavor addition. Tito's Handmade Vodka is derived of yellow corn instead of more traditional bases, like potato and grain. As a result, its finish is smoother than one would expect of a pure vodka, and it lacks the "rubbing alcohol" taste that is associated with lesser vodka products. Because it is considerably more affordable than other vodka brands, Tito's is also a magnificent value.

Cognac, France

The smooth, softly-sweet taste leaves a hint of almonds on the tongue that lingers well after the last sip. This provides a long-lasting and highly satisfying vodka experience. Grey Goose can be enjoyed straight, on the rocks, or as the base in a variety of cocktails.
