The deadline for entry is November 4th.
A Little More About Tito’s Handmade Vodka
Tito’s Handmade Vodka came about by accident. In the early 90’s, founder Tito Beveridge started making vodka to give as Christmas presents to his friends. This sparked his interest in pursuing his craft with purpose. Through trial, error and experimentation, this one-man show came up with what Tito believed to be the best-tasting vodka available.
Tito now produces his product at Texas’ oldest legal distillery, using an old-fashioned pot still.
At the Austinot, we love stories like this. We may just have to enter the contest ourselves for a chance to meet Tito!
