We got a
Crystal Head Vodka in the office! ;)
Because of it's skull shaped bottle, a Crystal Head Vodka is now part of Sonny's growing collection of skulls in our studio.
"Crystal Head is vodka like no other, for a life like no other.
An exploration of extraordinary people, places, and ingredients.
Beginning with an archaeological mystery dating back thousands of years,
we arrive at the deep, glacial waters of Newfoundland, Canada.
We continue on to discover the unique crystals of Herkimer, New York
before finally making our way into the hands of unique individuals like
yourself. And of course, this isn't the end of the story. It's the start
of a new one."

The Legend
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.
The Founders
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.
The Bottle
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.
