Cinco Vodka is a hand-made American vodka produced in San Antonio, Texas. Founded by Richard "Trey" Azar III, Cinco Vodka is made from Idaho-sourced wheat and naturally filtered water drawn from the Edwards Aquifer; it is the first European-style Texas vodka.[1]
Cinco Vodka is made in small batches according to European tradition, and is the only Texas vodka that is made from 100% wheat, rather than corn. It is distilled five times from Idaho-sourced amber wheat in the distillery's 530-gallon hand-hammered copper kettle named "Betty." The Azar Distillery, where Cinco is made, is located in southeastern San Antonio in an area just outside the town of China Grove.[2]
The motto of Cinco Vodka is "The martini lover's vodka," which alludes to Richard Azar's vision of creating an American ultra-premium vodka that rivals traditional European imports such as Grey Goose, Ketel One, and Belvedere.[3]
In 2013, Cinco Vodka won awards at the Los Angeles International Spirit Competition including "Best of Division for Vodka" and "Best of Category for Wheat Vodka (Unflavored)". Overall, it was a Gold Medal Winner with 95 points.[4]
