SAVVY is the super-premium vodka of Texas that is handcrafted at a micro-distillery in Austin, Texas. SAVVY combines cutting-edge technology with the best of old-world craftsmanship to produce vodka that is of the highest quality. It says Handcrafted on the bottle because SAVVY truly is handcrafted—SAVVY is produced only 400 gallons at a time. SAVVY is distilled at least 20 times in a state-of-the-art, 20-ft. column still. The finest water in Texas is used to produce SAVVY, and SAVVY is filtered 5 times very gently and slowly over charcoal. This dedication to quality results in a vodka that is unbelievably smooth.
SAVVY was founded by Chad Auler, who is a lifelong resident of Austin, a University of Texas graduate and a sixth generation Texan. Mr. Auler has been active in the alcoholic beverage industry since 1993 as an owner of Texas wine producer Fall Creek Vineyards.
Treaty Oak rum was created with three important principles in mind:
- Make a superb silver rum that could compete not only with the best rums, but also with the best vodkas.
- Use only Texas ingredients.
- Make our rum by hand and from scratch.
While these ideals may seem very simple, we are proud to say that we are Texas’ first and only distillery to both brew and distill our spirit. For that matter, we are one of very few micro-distilleries in the United States that adhere to this labor-intensive production method. Simply put, we believe controlling all aspects of production results in a superior quality spirit.
