SAVVY Vodka is a vodka produced by Savvy Distillers, LP. Founded by Chad Auler, SAVVY Vodka was established in 2006 in Austin, Texas. They specialize in "handcrafted" vodka, produced in a micro-distillery also located in Austin, Texas. Their products are only available in the state of Texas.{{Citation needed|date=September 2022}}
Process
The vodka is distilled from grain grown in Texas, and the quantity produced is limited to only 400 gallons at a time. This is also the basis on which they refer to their product as "handcrafted" due to the reasonably smaller batches produced.{{citation needed|date=January 2025}} They use a column still in which is the equivalent of distilling their spirits 20 times per batch.{{cite news |last=Marshall |first=Wes |date=28 December 2007 |title=Texas Gets Spirited Away |url=http://www.austinchronicle.com/food/2007-12-28/575566/ |newspaper=Austin Chronicle}} This is compared to a traditional pot still which some consider producing a less clean or less pure product. The column still used also allows them to produce their product more efficiently at a fraction of the energy typically used in similar processes. It is estimated to be 200% more efficient than a traditional pot still. In addition to its low energy use, the water used in the distillation is recycled between a custom two-tank water reclamation system. This allows them to reuse the 3,000 gallons of water for multiple batches instead of wasting more with each distillation process.{{citation needed|date=January 2025}} The water used comes from a spring-fed creek that flows through the Fall Creek Ranch, owned by the Auler family.
