The nose is pretty faint and fairly clean. Most immediate is a dusty grain smell. Let it sit and open and subtle overtones of vanilla or some other sweetness show themselves but you have to look hard. There's maybe even a hint of yeast or salt. It's hard to pinpoint anything specific because the aromas are so muted. And of course light ethanol and the slightest hint of corn. On the palate it is initially almost salty which then gives way to a very pleasant sweetness with a gentle creaminess going on. Midpalate you get the only indication this is a corn vodka but it's subtle. Then the finish is quite sharply bitter and of ethanol. Not too crazy about the finish as it's quite prominent in an otherwise smooth vodka. Texture is fairly oily especially for a corn based vodka. Overall I want to say that Tito's feels a bit overpriced given that sharp ethanol finish. Granted it's sweetness still makes it a nice shot and once you begin mixing the sweetness can go a long way while taming the ethanol finish. It's not hard to see why this vodka took off. But there are better options for less.
