Crystal Head Vodka
Tuesday October 7, 2008
I can't decide whether to laugh or cry, but here is the best use for a crystal skull I've seen to date---as a bottle for selling vodka.
The website has a ludicrously long, yakkity video essay from actor Dan Ackroyd about crystal skulls and why they're just so darn groovy. Oddly, there doesn't seem to be anything else on the site except some mystical, archaeology-like graphics. God knows whether the vodka's any good.
Says Ackroyd, "According to (glass maker) Bruni, no one has ever attempted to make a bottle of such quality and complexity as I hold in my hand."
Uh huh. Ah, what the heck. Think how neat it would look sitting on the wet bar.
Hmm. Mysteriously, in the time it took to put this together, the video on the page no longer runs for me. Maybe you'll have better luck with it...

Video seems to be running, but no sound on Steve’s Linux system. Just as well. My, how serious Akroyd looks. Hope he got paid well.
Oh my. What is there to say about vodka that’s filtered through diamonds?
I’m not at all convinced about the complexity of the bottle – I reckon this glass model ship inside a blown glass bottle and the klein bottles in the Science Museum in London beat the skulls hands down. But then I’m a maths geek.
Dan Akroyd is his usual pseudo-intellectual self in the Crystal Head Vodka promo on their website.
Quadruple distilled, triple filtered, then diamond filtered to remove the last of the impurities.
At $45 a bottle at discount liquor sellers they stand to make a few dollars on their new product.
In the true spirit of Irishmen everywhere I fully intend to own a bottle.
Hm, it would look nice on the wet bar. Perhaps I should add to the list for Christmas shopping?
Great idea and terrific marketing.
Now I have something to sip on whilst I play my latest Indiana Jones the Original Adventures game.
No archaeologist should be without either;).
Cheers to all
that’s so freaking awesome! i can’t wait till i turn 21!
It is not bad tasting. I drank it for the Super Bowl with OJ. I did not get very drunk though and me and a friend finished the whole bottle. Anyways for $50 at publix the Liquor is not worth it but the bottle looks Awesome enough to put in your Liquor trophy case!!
Hah! When I first read your comment, I thought–wait, isn’t OJ in jail?
Just bought one yesterday….but now i don’t wanna open it, i’m gunna have 2 go get another one now.
