Production & Heritage

Deep Eddy Vodka was founded in 2010 by Clayton Christopher and Chad Auler, named after the historic Deep Eddy Pool in Austin — the oldest swimming pool in Texas. The distillery operates in Dripping Springs, in the heart of Texas Hill Country, and was acquired by Heaven Hill Brands in 2015. The base spirit is column-distilled ten times from 100% American corn, producing a clean, subtly sweet vodka that serves as the foundation for their flavored range. The Espresso expression infuses this base with real coffee, distinguishing it from competitors that rely on artificial flavorings.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Freshly brewed espresso dominates the nose, followed by roasted coffee bean and a faint cocoa undertone. There is a subtle sweetness reminiscent of brown sugar that rounds out the aromatics.

Taste: The entry is smooth and coffee-forward, with dark roast espresso coating the palate immediately. At mid-palate, mild chocolate and vanilla notes emerge alongside a gentle sweetness from the corn-based spirit. The coffee intensity stays controlled, never veering into bitterness.

Finish: Medium in length with lingering roasted coffee and a clean, slightly sweet fade. The corn distillate's inherent smoothness prevents any harsh or astringent aftertaste.

How to Drink Deep Eddy Espresso

Chilled and neat or over a single large ice cube brings out the full espresso character without diluting it. This vodka is a natural fit for cocktails that call for coffee flavor.

• Espresso Martini: The real coffee base means no need for additional espresso shots — it provides authentic flavor and body on its own.
• White Russian: Substituting Deep Eddy Espresso for plain vodka adds a double layer of coffee alongside the Kahlúa.
• Coffee Mule: Paired with ginger beer and a squeeze of lime, the roasted notes play surprisingly well against the spice and citrus.
