VODKA CRYSTAL HEAD 70 cl Skull bottle
Crystal Head Original Vodka: Canadian Corn Vodka in an Iconic Skull Bottle
Crystal Head Original Vodka is a Canadian spirit recognised worldwide for its distinctive transparent skull-shaped bottle. Created by actor Dan Aykroyd and American artist John Alexander, the brand was launched in 2008 with a focus on additive-free vodka and imaginative bottle design.
The Original expression is made from Canadian “Peaches and Cream” corn, a variety known for its yellow and white kernels. The corn is distilled four times to produce a neutral grain spirit, which is then blended with water from Newfoundland, on Canada's Atlantic coast.
The vodka undergoes seven filtration stages, including three through layers of naturally occurring quartz crystals known as Herkimer diamonds. These crystals are not actual diamonds but a distinctive form of double-terminated quartz. Their use is one of the defining features of Crystal Head's production process.
No sugar, glycerol, citrus oils or artificial flavourings are added to the vodka. The producer aims to preserve the natural character developed through the raw materials, distillation and filtration.
On the nose, Crystal Head Original offers delicate grain aromas and a subtle suggestion of citrus. The palate is silky, with gentle natural sweetness and light vanilla notes. The finish is smooth and clean, making the vodka suitable for neat tasting as well as cocktails.
Bottled at 40% ABV in a 70 cl format, Crystal Head Original can be served chilled, over ice or in classic vodka cocktails such as a Martini or Moscow Mule.
Its sculptural glass bottle, designed by John Alexander, draws inspiration from the legend of thirteen crystal skulls. This combination of distinctive packaging and Canadian vodka production has become the signature of the Crystal Head brand.

Description
Crystal Head Vodka 70 cl: The Story Behind the Skull-Shaped Bottle
Crystal Head Vodka combines Canadian distilling with a bottle design inspired by the mysterious legends surrounding crystal skulls. The brand was founded by actor Dan Aykroyd and artist John Alexander, who shared an interest in creating a vodka without the additives sometimes used to modify flavour or texture.
Launched in 2008, Crystal Head Original is produced from Canadian corn, specifically the “Peaches and Cream” variety grown in Ontario. This corn has a distinctive mixture of yellow and white kernels and contributes a gentle natural sweetness to the finished spirit.
The production process involves four distillations, followed by blending with water sourced from Newfoundland. Seven filtration stages are then carried out, including three through layers of Herkimer diamond quartz crystals. Despite their name, Herkimer diamonds are naturally occurring quartz rather than precious diamonds.
The finished vodka contains no added sugar, glycerol or artificial flavourings. Its character comes from the selected corn, the water and the production process.
Crystal Head Original has a restrained aromatic profile. The nose presents subtle cereal and citrus notes, while the palate offers a smooth, creamy texture, light vanilla and delicate sweetness. The finish is clean and gentle, without pronounced spice or added fruit flavours.
The bottle is an important part of the brand's identity. Designed by John Alexander with creative input from Dan Aykroyd, it reproduces the contours of a human skull in clear glass. Developing the complex design required more than two years of work. The transparency of the glass also emphasises the colourless appearance of the vodka inside.
At 40% ABV, Crystal Head Original is suitable for a variety of serving styles. It can be tasted neat to appreciate its subtle flavour and texture or used in cocktails where a relatively neutral vodka is desirable. Martini, Cosmopolitan and Moscow Mule recipes are particularly familiar applications.
The 70 cl bottle offers an unusual combination of additive-free Canadian vodka and an instantly recognisable presentation. Its appeal rests on both the production process and the artistic design that has distinguished the brand since its launch.
