Vodka taste is not a TTB class. Vodka is a class of neutral spirits bottled at 80 proof or more. Grain varies by brand. Tito’s Handmade Vodka is made from corn; the brand FAQ prints 40% / 80. Drinkers often cite “clean” or “neutral” — bar talk. A 1.5-ounce pour at 40% is one NIAAA drink and 98 calories on the Tito’s FAQ.
