Crystal Head Vodka, , Canada, Newfoundland
What immediately stands out is the special bottle in skull shape for this exceptional vodka. It will probably give a range of reactions, but this is certainly the intention. However, based on an archaeological mystery, 13 crystal skulls were found in various regions of the world, from America to the west of Tibet. They would be between 5,000 to 35,000 years old, but it's still unknown correctly how they were made. They're believed to give spiritual strength and stand as a symbol for life and not for death.
This vodka contains no additives, no glycol, no lemon oil or raw sugar. Actor Dan Aykroyd (known from Ghostbusters ) believed in an invisible world and found in artist Johan Alexander an excellent "partner in crime". After they had studied the myth of the crystal skulls, they already had an original bottle that had yet only to be filled. Bruni Glass in Milan produces the bottle. A film on the internet shows how much attention is put in the production.
To produce a unique vodka they were looking for a place with pristine waters and pure nature. This has been found in Newfoundland, Canada, where natural beauty is associated with purity. It's a nivr bonus that traditions and legends are well present there.
This vodka is distilled four times and filtered on 500 million years old Herkimer diamonds. These crystals can be found only in a few places in the world like Herkimer, New York and some regions in Tibet and Afghanistan. It's the same material from which the original skulls were made.
The nose is very fine and elegant with citrus tones, eucalyptus, almonds and a light spiciness.
The mouth is very balanced, soft and with great finesse. No aggressive elements emerge. This vodka is so good that you can drink it pure as a digestive cool but not frozen. Of course, it is a perfect base for beautiful fresh cocktails which you can find on the website.
