The back story If ever there was a spirit tailor-made for Halloween celebrations, it’s Crystal Head, the vodka, created by comedic legend Dan Aykroyd, that comes in a skull-shaped bottle.
But as much as Crystal Head is all about the vessel, it also has fans for the liquid inside — Aykroyd touts the fact that it’s made with “pristine” Canadian water and is “always free from any oils, sugars or additives,” unlike some other vodkas. Since its launch in 2008, the brand has increased in popularity, with sales now topping 100,000 cases per year.
Aykroyd has also grown the brand by introducing different expressions and limited-edition offerings. Which brings us to Crystal Head’s latest release — dubbed Onyx. It’s special for not only its black bottle, true to the coloring of its namesake crystal, but also for the booze itself. That is, this vodka is made from blue agave, the same plant that goes into quality tequila.
What we think about it This is very much a hybrid spirit — and a fascinating sip to enjoy. The tequila-like flavor comes through, but in somewhat subtle form, so we’d hardly call this a “flavored” vodka. Still, Aykroyd rightly notes that you can’t ignore the “unmistakable earthy grip” of the agave. How to enjoy it Although it’s a pricey vodka to use for mixing, we think that’s how this Crystal Head release is best appreciated. Aykroyd says he’s tried it in everything from a martini to a margarita. We opted for the latter and it worked very well.
'The LORD is asking the present day Christian to centre her Salvation on repentance, righteousness and holiness. GOD does not take any pleasure in the death of the wicked; instead HE prefers that they repent and live. ExpressFridayVigil
