Dan Aykroyd is a well-known actor, musician, entrepreneur and spiritualist; a believer in what he calls the “invisible world” where otherworldly presences are a “form of reality as valid as our normal reality.” Partner and veteran fine artist John Alexander has exhibited extensively in the United States and around the world. Together, they were avid researchers of the legend of the 13 crystal heads. And from this inspiration, an idea was born. Aykroyd and Alexander wanted the opportunity to get closer to the myth of the 13 crystal heads. After more than two years in development, their moment finally arrived. When their glass depiction of a head was complete, Milan-based manufacturer Bruni Glass declared it to be a bottle of unsurpassed complexity and quality. Now, what to put in it? Vodka became the drink of choice. But with it, a commitment to do something enlightened and different. A quadruple-distillation process made Crystal Head as pure as vodka can be, but the quest for an almost mystical purity continued. As a final stage, the liquid was filtered through 500-million year-old crystals known as Herkimer diamonds. These quartz crystals are found in very few places in the world, including Herkimer, New York and regions in Tibet and Afghanistan. Perhaps because they share the raw material from which the original crystal heads were carved, they are thought to have similar spiritual qualities. The result was perfect vodka, with absolutely no additives. No glycol (an ingredient for engine anti-freeze); no citrus oil (used in its raw form as an insect exterminant); and no raw sugar. Nothing was needed, because it was abundantly clear that finely produced vodka came by its smoothness and flavor naturally. So in the end, the only things required were a glass and a pure spirit of one’s own. A controversial archaeological mystery, 13 crystal heads have been found in regions around the world, from the American southwest to Tibet. They’re dated between 5,000 and 35,000 years old, and were supposedly polished into shape from solid quartz chunks over a period of several hundred years. Although according to Hewlett Packard engineers, they bear no tool marks to tell us exactly how they were made. The heads are thought to offer spiritual power and enlightenment to those who possess them, and as such stand not as symbols of death, but of life.
Crystal Head is NOW available in all 50 States and all Provinces in Canada. Please contact the nearest liquor store in your area for availability. Crystal Head Vodka is expanding internationally. Be sure to come back often. Our objective was to make traditional vodka using one of the planet’s cleanest, sweetest water sources. We selected the pure glacial aquifers of Newfoundland, Canada. The mash is distilled only 4 times so as not to diminish taste. The liquid is then filtered 3 times through charcoal and then poured 3 times through Herkimer semi-precious crystals. The smoothness you experience is achieved not by what we add to the vodka.
This vodka sure is interesting. It smells very like rubbing alcohol and does have that monarch smell. Though when you taste it, it blows your mind its so smooth. Tastes just like water and you don’t even need a chaser how good it is. The bottle is made of glass and the cork is a reseal cork. Its a 750ML bottle of 40 proof alcohol. The bottle isnt cheap its a $53 dollar bottle. Though people have the saying novelty type of items of alcohol means the alcohol is gross. This actually is very good vodka. I am a huge fan of vodka and I like to try them all. This didn’t give me a headache or a hangover. So if your in the craving for some vodka try Dan Aykroyd bottle its so worth every penny. Its great in a glass of ice, or mixed with cola/rootbeer.
