Esquire recommended Tito's Handmade from Austin a few issues back, haven't tried it yet. Here in Chicago I'm partial to a local boutique vodka (North Shore Vodka) which is super-smooth, if you can get past the fact that their distillery is located sandwiched between an upper-class community and a naval base.

I do like Skyy a lot, it's a very clean vodka and not chasing any trends (e.g. Grey Goose). Is Hangar the one made in Napa?

I do like Skyy a lot, it’s a very clean vodka and not chasing any trends (e.g. Grey Goose).
