Richmond booze in 2 charts

Virginia ABC recently released its annual top sellers for the last fiscal year, and Tito's Handmade Vodka held on to the top spot for the fifth year in a row.

By the numbers: In fact, the full statewide top five sellers were the same this year as last.

• Tito's Handmade — $66.9 million.
• Hennessy VS — $42.5 million.
• Jack Daniel's Old No. 7 Black — $30.4 million.
• Patron Silver — $28.6 million.
• Jim Beam — $24.2 million.

Go deeper: As we reported last month, Virginians pay some of the highest prices in the country for a bottle of booze, per an informal survey of liquor prices by Axios Local correspondents.

Of those, the Richmond bottle price for Tito's remains the sixth highest in the country.

• For Hennessy VS, Virginia has the third highest price, and for Jack Daniels, we're tied for No. 2.
