Crystal Head is a Canadian vodka brand launched in 2008 by actor Dan Aykroyd and artist John Alexander. It is instantly recognisable for its clear skull-shaped bottle, a piece of packaging that has become central to the brand's identity without entirely overshadowing the spirit inside.
The brand is owned by Globefill Inc. and produced in Newfoundland, where the vodka is blended with local water and bottled for international markets. Crystal Head's original expression is made from Canadian corn, distilled four times and presented without added sugar, glycerine or flavouring, while the wider range includes variants such as Aurora and Onyx.
The style is clean, smooth and lightly sweet, with soft grain, citrus, pepper and a rounded texture rather than a sharply neutral profile. Crystal Head is also known for its filtration through Herkimer diamonds, a distinctive part of its production story, though the more important practical qualities are its purity-led positioning, Canadian base and consistent premium presentation.
Crystal Head sits somewhere between serious vodka and contemporary design object. Its bottle may be the first thing people notice, but the brand has endured because it offers a polished, additive-free vodka with enough character for simple serves, Martinis and premium mixed drinks.
