Tito’s presence at the airport also coincides with listings which have helped the craft vodka brand to become the top-selling spirits brand in the USA. The figures indicate that Tito’s Handmade Vodka is contributing 22% of the total US spirit category sales and is growing at a rate of +44.3%.
As reported, the brand has extended its presence in North America duty free in airports and on cruise lines.
Tito’s is also available in Dufry stores at Toronto Pearson International Airport. The brand said it had witnessed “huge success” at all Canadian land border duty free stores, Montreal-Pierre Elliott Trudeau Airport and Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport.
