re: Your ‘Craft’ Rye Whiskey Is Probably From a Factory Distillery in Indiana

The speaker was a former manager of the Tito's brand who left because "they haven't distiller a drop in years". They buy and bottle.

My jaw dropped but after thinking, I'm not surprised.

Our show has been working with Tito's for a number of years now and I thought I knew this was patently false, so I reached out to Tito's corporate and sent them the link to this whole thread.

Here is the response: “Obviously, some people have been delivered some poor information concerning Tito’s Handmade Vodka. I can assure you that Tito’s Handmade Vodka is 100% Distilled and Bottled at the Mockingbird Distillery in Austin, Texas and they do not buy a drop of liquor from anyone at any stage of distillation. The distillery is celebrating its 17th year of continuous production this year. It is 6 times pot distilled and made from 100% American Yellow Corn. No “manager” has left Tito’s Handmade Vodka so the claim that a “Manager stated that they haven’t distilled a drop in years” is completely false. In fact, the distillery is adding more pot stills to make more of their high quality, American made brand.”
