Crystal Head Vodka - It’s REAL!- 10.04.08

crystalhead.jpgThe internet is a buzz with rumors on the latest “viral” video of Dan Aykroyd showing us his new Crystal Head Vodka in a gorgeous glass skull. Rumors include this being a video for the new Ghostbusters or some Indiana Jones… but i guess lesson to be learned here is ~ just because it’s going viral, doesn’t mean it’s not real!

I actually bought a few bottles today ~ lots of pics on the next page! Not the smooooothest thing i’ve tasted, but it’s not bad, and i’m totally in love with the glass skull bottle made by Bruni Glass in Milan, Italy. Apparently it is made by Diamond Estates Wines & Spirits Ltd, out of Newfoundland water triple crystal filtered through herkimer diamonds (aka double-terminated quartz crystals)! Really the story is just great though, and the video and bottle make the experience priceless ~ here are excerpts from the box: “In reverence of those enlightened after touching any of the thirteen crystal heads unearthed around our globe we offer this pure spirit”… “One of the most compelling archeological mysteries is the story of the 13 Crystal Heads. These heads are believed to be between 5,000 and 35,000 years old and were carved over a period of several hundred years but without any tool marks. In fact their very construction defies the laws of physics and common logic. They are believed to offer spiritual power to those who hold or possess them.”

See the pictures of the real thing and the video on the next page!

UPDATE: Dan did some crazy internet researching for us and here are some fun facts: Dan Aykroyd is not only an actor, but co-founder of the House of Blues, part owner of Diamond Estates Wines & Spirits Ltd (which distributes Patron in Canada), and is building his own winery, Dan Aykroyd Wines (which uses 100% snob free grapes!). There is a great interview with him on delish before the vodka release where he exposes how serious he is about wine, Crystal Skulls, UFOs, and “pure spirit from Newfoundland glacial pool water, and peaches and cream corn mash”!

Here’s a quick copy of the video from youtube, but it looks best at Crystal Head Vodka.

Here’s a screenshot of the single page at Crystal Head Vodka.

I saw one in person today and it’s so freaking COOL!!!!

Please help me get one!

----- Grace 09.10.08 19:14

I made a quick stop by my local BevMo after seeing this article. They currently have cases of this stuff; right now its all on display with other Halloween booze. I picked up a bottle just for kicks; its definitely cool.

----- Nate 10.10.08 16:35

Dan Aykroyd was in the Tampa Bay area last night autographing the bottles. They were selling for $100.00 US. I got mine and its signed. The first place that he was at had sold out of the bottles within an hour the third place he was to appear at had sold out by 7:00 PM and he was supposed to be there at 9:00 to autograph them.
One of the places where he appeared was donating 20.00 of that money to a local childrens hospital. We were told that they (the heads) will not be sold in liquor stores but will be sold in a regular bottle

----- Sheryl 11.10.08 06:27

John Hodgman quoted this article on his blog. He actually questioned your true nature and whether or not you were in on some sort of conspiracy. I’d be honored.

----- Michael Black 13.10.08 15:05

Nice little masonic gesture at 0:20.

----- jake 14.10.08 10:52

There will be a signing by Dan Akroyd at HiTime cellars from 4-6PM on the 23rd of August. The price is $49.99 They have plenty and will ship all over

----- Dave 14.10.08 20:51

ok, I just got “The item is now back in stock” email from
BevMo.com but they don’t ship outside of California and Im in Miami Florida.
Anybody willing to buy & ship one to me? I would gladly compensate for the trouble. Holl@chaBUGA!

----- Alex 16.10.08 07:19

Of course, the whole crystal skull mystery has been thoroughly debunked with modern investigation methods…the whole thing was a hoax (or scam). But the bottle IS frickin’ awesome!

----- Monkey Bingo 17.10.08 07:55

how do you get this in mass.,south attleboro

----- Alan Mendoza Jr. 17.10.08 10:42

Thanks

Dear Mr. Aykroyd ~ this is incredible and you can tell by the response (even in between all of the negative comments), this is going to be a hit to many people for various reasons at present time. We are in the midst of a huge movement and I guarantee people are going to want to learn more. I want to urge you to please reach out to me at Muneuss1@bendbroadband.com and let me hook you up with some of the experts. Your youtube.com segment has things wrong and it would be cool to straighten them out. Anna Mitchells Hedges is dead - the skull is traveling elsewhere with someone else. JoAnn Parks (Max - TX crystal skull) and “the woman with the skull in the closet from the SW” is the same person. If you want to visit with JoAnn - please write me and I’ll get you her phone number and her email address. She has more facts than anyone on the incredible truth’s (complete) on the ancient skulls, I know she would help you as her & I have been visiting about it for the past 2-nights and she was eager to help you find out the facts. You are absolutely onto something good !! This is about peace…this is about evolution and a shift in thinking. Good for you for jumping on board !!

----- Lisa 22.10.08 13:05

I cam across this vodka today. i am a big vodka drinker and have tasted only the finest quality vodkas. Considering the time of release of this product (Oct) and considering Dan Akroyd has ownership in this vodka, I figured it was possibly a gimmick due to the holloween holiday. Anyone posting a $42 price tag must be selling something fabulous or getting money for the glass making of this bottle.

i went home and did some research before buying, this is soo new that there are no reviews on this vodka. So, I went out and bought one and I am actually taking a likeing to this vodka over the Ciroc, that I normally drink! This vodka goes down smooth right out of the bottle and I cannot even imagin if it is on ice! I highly recommend this vodka purely on the tast and smoothness. the actual bottle should not be a seller however, it did catch my eye. I absolutely taste the 4X distilled and 3X filtered through H Crystals/Diamonds. Not only that, but its definatly a great candle holder, center piece or bong after you are through! Those wanting this bottle now can contact me at xtreemroverguy@aol.com. Limited quantities are available, some wine sites have posted OUT OF STOCK!! not available until late November/December. Get a fabulous quality vodka now and own a piece of the crystal skulls!!

----- Tony 22.10.08 21:10

is this available at the LCBO?

Can someone that has tried this Vodka and other high quality Vodka write a comparison? I really enjoy the flavor and smoothness of Grey Goose, but would like a comparison and recommendations to other high quality vodkas.

My friend was telling me about a skull head shaped vodka bottle in a liquor store down the road from her house. When she told me the price tag was $51 I declined on her offer to pick me up a bottle. The store worker said they only had two bottles left. The next day I went online to see what the bottle looks like and was amazed by the amount of detail in the bottle. I then gave my friend the money to pick me up a bottle on the way home since it is by her house. I was very lucky and she got the last bottle they had! I plan on keeping the bottle new un-opened and displayed in a cabinet. This is truly a amazing item for anyone. To me the bottle is worth the price.

----- Joseph Sheehan 06.12.08 17:48

I just received a bottle for my birthday and I can’t believe how it’s so popular and I never even heard or seen about it until I unwrapped my gift. After watching the video and reading comments about it’s great quality I believe it was one the best birthday presents yet! My boyfriend did well! It goes beautifully with my skull collection!! It’s a great conversation piece in Austin, TX!

----- rockette yvette 14.12.08 17:33

How do I get a case for the house?
