If it's there, Captain Morgan's private stock is great for 20-something. It's my favorite mid-tier rum.

They had this in Oregon and my buddy and I loved it for a cheap but good tasting choice.
I have been to other states though where it's nowhere to be found so not sure what the deal is.

Ketel One is excellent and it's actually getting cheaper, while Tito's is getting more expensive because it's trendy. You can find deals on Ketel One and it's basically top shelf, just under Gray Goose/Bellvadere

Corn-based vodkas are sweeter and "smoother" than the conventional vodka. They're basically infant corn whiskeys; therefore, buy bourbon instead since Texas vodkas are the same price.

I could be wrong but I believe it's marketing. It's marked up in stores so you think it's high quality, but I think they sell it cheap to bars so they can use Tito's as their cheap vodka for mixed drink. I'm pretty sure they give deals for bars and mass purchases. It's certainly better than a lot of bottom of the shelf well/rail vodka but yeah it seems to be trendy. Their label is nice looking and it's american made which a lot of people like.
