Deep Eddy Vodka

Deep Eddy is named for the oldest swimming hole in Austin, Texas — a spring-fed pool where people have gathered since the 1900s — and it was founded in 2010 by Clayton Christopher of Sweet Leaf Tea and Chad Auler of Savvy Vodka, two Austin entrepreneurs who launched with a flavored vodka first and built the original afterward. It became one of the fastest-growing spirits in America; Heaven Hill bought it in 2015 for a figure estimated between $165 and $300 million. The vodka is made from 100% corn and Texas Hill Country spring water at the brand's 30,000-square-foot distillery in Dripping Springs, column-distilled ten times in a 20-foot still and filtered over charcoal, in small batches of about 2,000 gallons, bottled at 40% ABV. Naturally gluten-free. Best Tasting Spirits found corn and a hint of black licorice on the nose, a soft, creamy mouthfeel building to a sweet-corn peak, and a dry finish with a mineral-water snap. Expect a clean, faintly sweet nose, a smooth palate with the gentle roundness corn vodka lends, and a crisp, clean finish. Honest note: it's a purity-first, everyday vodka priced to be poured freely — what it lacks in boutique texture it makes up in value. For a vodka soda, a Mule, a Bloody Mary, or the base of the brand's beloved flavors, it's the Austin bottle that beat the imports. Texas corn, Texas water, Texas swimming hole.
