Tito's is very popular here in Austin, where it's made. The only hard liquor distillery in Texas, in fact. I, too, have heard it's good, but have never tried it. Don't really care for vodka.

Our cheap vodka staples used to be Bellow's, Potter's, and especially McCormick's. All of them can be had for <$12 for a handle, in plastic of course. All three taste like gasoline, except I'd argue that McCormicks is a cut above the other two.

Good times.

Nothing is better than Grey Goose.

Negative ghost rider. This Tito's Vodka took first place in some spirits competition, beating all other vodkas including Grey Goose. Not only did it beat out other vodkas, it won unanimously amongst the judges.

Good stuff, I recommend it.

Funny enough, someone at work gave me a bottle ot Titos. I found it to be much stronger than premium vodkas, with a very strong burn and so-so taste. And it's day after effects are brutal compared to premium vodkas. I put 3/4 of a bottle down the kitchen sink, since I couldn't find anyone else who wanted it.

I think you are 100% full of it.
I know some people who still prefer Grey Goose and/or Chopin vodka, but they all have agreed that Tito's is a smooth vodka. Even the spirit industry has acknowledged that Tito's is a smooth vodka. They have given Tito's high marks above other premium vodkas. That is essentially quantitative evidence.
Also I would consider Tito's a premium vodka due to it being distalled more than any other vodka out there and the fact that it is not the most common vodka out there.

I am not a huge vodka fan myself. Well at least not anymore after a few rough nights in college. However I still do enjoy drinking Grey Goose and Tito's. For the price, I recommend you give it a try. It is not like most other vodkas.

For the cheap stuff, I used to have some Takka (sp?) around the house. Cheap plastic jug-o-vodka. Talk about bad times in the morning. . .

Down here, we've got good ol' Gordon's vodka, and it's only $9.99 for 1.75L. Tastes just like Grey Goose, so take that!










PS. Can you please send me money to drink good vodka? I can't take this bottled gasoline anymore. Hell, I don't even need good vodka, just anything other than this firewater. :(

I like gordons gin

I'm just saying that I didn't enjoy the Titos, and I poured it out. Personal tastes vary.

Confirmafied. It's official, Tito's is good fvckin' vodka. Just as good, if not better, than the premium brands and much less expensive.

LOL, so true. Some old russian friends of mine are truly hardcore.
I got some nice struff from them and the bottles were sealed with aluminium foil caps. :cool:

Luksusowa vodka is extremely good and easily the best value for the money at $25 for a handle, I've drank my fair share of vodkas and I think it taste better than Grey Goose, Stoli, Absolute(even though this is crap vodka,people think it's good) and many others.

It makes a really killer vodka martini too.
