Crystal Head Aurora is a vodka from Newfoundland. This special edition is made from English wheat and the bottle is inspired by the astronomical phenomenon, aurora borealis, or in good Danish: northern lights. The vodka is distilled 4 times and filtered 7 times, among other things through a layer of quartz crystals called “herkimer diamonds”, to produce the characteristic soft, rich taste. There is no added sugar or glycerol, and the vodka is bottled at the classic 40% alcohol.
Color: Crystal clear.
Scent: Clean and pleasant scent of white pepper and light vanilla.
Tasting notes: Spicy and strong in taste.
Serving suggestions: Can be enjoyed neat or in cocktails.
Crystal Head is a premium vodka produced in Newfoundland off the east coast of Canada. The vodka is made from peaches and corn, and is distilled four times to produce a neutral spirit. This is subsequently filtered seven times, including three times through a layer of quartz crystals called “Herkimer diamonds”. Crystal Head contains none of the additives you regularly come across in vodka: glycerol, sugar and citrus oils.
The company was founded by comedian Dan Akroyd and artist John Alexander, who also designed the distinctive bottle. The design process took over two years, and when the bottle was finally finished, Milan-based glass manufacturer Bruni Glass announced that it was the most complex bottle they had ever produced.
