Crystal Head Vodka 3 x 50ml Mini Pack is a premium Canadian vodka tasting set featuring three distinctive expressions at 80 proof, each crafted from different base ingredients and presented in collectible miniature skull bottles. This curated pack includes Crystal Head Original (corn-based), Aurora (wheat-based), and Onyx (agave-based), offering vodka enthusiasts a unique opportunity to explore how base ingredients transform the final spirit's character.
Created by actor Dan Aykroyd and artist John Alexander, Crystal Head Vodka represents a fusion of artistry and craftsmanship.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes each Crystal Head expression different?
Each expression uses a different base ingredient that creates distinct flavor profiles. The Original uses Canadian corn for subtle sweetness, Aurora uses English wheat for a richer, drier character, and Onyx uses Blue Weber agave for an earthy, mineral-driven taste that's unique among vodkas.
Is Crystal Head Vodka good for cocktails?
Yes, all three Crystal Head expressions work excellently in cocktails, though each brings different characteristics. The Original is perfect for classic martinis and Moscow mules, Aurora adds complexity to bloody marys and cosmopolitans, while Onyx creates interesting variations in vodka-based cocktails with its unique agave-influenced profile.
How much does the Crystal Head mini pack cost compared to full bottles?
The mini pack offers excellent value for trying all three expressions before committing to full bottles. At $39.99 for 150ml total, you're paying a premium per ounce but getting the opportunity to taste three distinct vodkas and collect three miniature skull bottles, making it worthwhile for exploration and gifting.
What's special about the Herkimer diamond filtration?
Herkimer diamonds are naturally occurring double-terminated quartz crystals that Crystal Head uses in their filtration process. This unique filtration method is believed to create exceptionally pure vodka by removing impurities while preserving the character derived from each base ingredient, resulting in remarkably smooth spirits.
Are the skull bottles real crystal?
The iconic skull bottles are made from high-quality glass designed to replicate crystal, not actual crystal material. However, they're substantial, well-crafted collectibles that make impressive display pieces and are part of what makes Crystal Head Vodka distinctive in the premium vodka market.
