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.”

Hah. This whole Tito's micro-dustup reminds me of an iconic #8 Dale Earnhardt Jr. commercial, way back when NASCAR commercials were actually funny -- and people actually watched NASCAR Sorry for the lo-rez
(the irony is that later on he actually *did* change his number)

Well that conflicts what I said. I'm going to do some digging and find the name of the Tito employee.

If you purchase neutral grain spirits (190 proof corn ethanol in Tito's case) and distill it 6 times through a pot still the statement above remains valid. Note, "liquor" does not mean neutral grain spirit.
ETA: here's an article exposing Tito's in Forbes: LINK
