In the popular country song “Made In America,” artist Toby Keith sings about everything U.S.A. As part of the chorus, he sings “Spends a little more in the store for a tag in the back that says U.S.A.” Like Keith and his celebration of all things American, Fifty States Vodka Founder and Owner Tom Liberati also celebrates the American spirit with the development of his premium vodka brand.

Several years ago, Liberati was drinking at a local bar near his hometown when he realized how few vodka brands actually were made in the United States. In that moment, the idea for Fifty States Vodka was born. Liberati wanted to create a spirit that not only supported local business and the economy, but one that easily was recognized as being made in the United States, he says.
