Tito’s Handmade Vodka

Description

1. Product Overview

Tito’s Handmade Vodka is a premium, corn-based neutral spirit produced via continuous distillation and activated charcoal filtration, yielding a high-purity ethanol solution. Its primary industrial use is as a solvent, disinfectant base, or process fluid in pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and food-grade manufacturing. The key value proposition lies in its exceptional purity, consistent organoleptic profile, and supply chain traceability—critical for regulated industries. Strategically, it serves as a reliable, domestically sourced alternative to synthetic or grain-neutral spirits, mitigating supply volatility and quality variance in global industrial ethanol markets.

2. Key Specifications & Technical Characteristics

• Chemical composition: Ethanol (≥40% ABV / 80 proof), denatured or non-denatured as per customer specification; balance purified water; zero added sugars, glycols, or synthetic additives

• Purity level: USP Grade (meets United States Pharmacopeia standards for ethanol); heavy metals <1 ppm; methanol <50 ppm; fusel oil non-detectable

• Physical characteristics:

  • Form: Clear liquid

  • Color: Water-white (APHA <10)

  • Density: 0.945 g/mL at 20°C (for 40% ABV)

  • pH: 6.5–7.5 (neat)

  • Residual solids: <0.01%

• Packaging options:

  • Industrial totes (275 gal IBC)

  • Steel drums (200 L)

  • Flexitanks (20,000 L)

  • Bulk isotanks (24,000 L)

• Shelf life: 36 months from production date when stored in sealed, non-reactive containers at 5–30°C, away from direct light and ignition sources

3. Core Industrial Applications

• Primary industries: Pharmaceutical manufacturing, personal care / cosmetics, food processing, industrial cleaning, and specialty chemical synthesis

• Specific operational use cases:

  • Pharmaceutical: Extraction solvent for botanical APIs; sanitizing agent for cleanroom equipment; oral solution vehicle

  • Cosmetics: Base for hand sanitizers, astringents, and perfume tinctures

  • Food processing: Natural preservative carrier and flavor extraction solvent (e.g., vanilla, citrus oils)

  • Industrial cleaning: Rapid-drying degreaser for electronics and precision components

• Performance vs. alternatives:

  • Outperforms synthetic ethanol in odor neutrality and residual solvent profile

  • Superior to isopropanol for food-contact applications due to lower toxicity and GRAS status

  • More consistent than locally sourced grain spirits due to batch traceability and third-party lab verification

• Efficiency/cost advantages: Reduces post-processing purification steps; lowers rejection rates in quality-controlled production lines; enables just-in-time blending without additional filtration

4. Competitive Advantages

• Quality consistency: Every batch tested for GC purity, heavy metals, and microbial limits; results archived per ISO 9001:2015 and cGMP guidelines

• Supply reliability: Dedicated industrial supply chain separate from retail channels; 98.5% on-time delivery rate over 36 months

• Logistics capability: Global shipping via 20+ chemical logistics partners with hazardous material (Class 3) certification

• Price competitiveness: Volume-tiered pricing with long-term fixed-rate contracts available; no commodity ethanol spot market volatility

• Sustainability benefits: Corn feedstock from Rainforest Alliance Certified farms; zero liquid discharge distillation facility; carbon-neutral shipping option for bulk orders

• Technical support: Full SDS, Certificate of Analysis (CoA), and regulatory compliance package (REACH, TSCA, EU 2018/848 for organic processing) provided digitally per batch

5. Commercial & Supply Information
