Crystal Skull Vodka. 2 thumbs up.

Got to sample a few drinks from a friend's skull tonight.

Served at room temp (HERASY!) and straight up, it was still a very pleasant sipping vodka.

From the freezer with a bit of lemon, this would be an exceptionally smooth vodka.

Thanks for the review dude.

Is this the f***ing bottle? Without a doubt, coolest alcohol container I have ever seen.

Yeah pretty good vodka. I believe Dan Akroyd owns the brand.

Most vodka's with awesome bottles are usually a gimmick and a cover-up for cheap vodka. This is not one of them.

How's the price?

Roughly 50 dollars a bottle....

For some odd reason despite being higher than Grey Goose people still buy it.

Holy f***! Higher than Grey Goose is an understatement.

Well, simply put, anyone that actually knows anything about vodka knows that Grey Goose is absolute s***. If my options are goat piss with Taaka or Grey Goose, the Taaka wins every time.

In that price range though, I am going to pick Stoli Elit over Crystal Skull.

I think its actually Crystal Head Vodka though...

Dan Akroyd is always hocking that s*** on TV here. I haven't had any yet, cool bottle though.

That bottle is sweet. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like it's available in PA. I'll have to check NJ.

Problem with vodka is that there is an "answer." It's not like wine or scotch where it's an art. Make it taste like nothing and don't get a hangover.

There are $15-30 vodkas that do that ("platinum," Circoc, SV, etc).

Taaka isn't bad for the price range its in...

10.99 for a half gallon?

Noticeably better than McCormick or Mr. Boston for sure.

If you're talking about Platinum 7, I'm a big fan.

For a 15 dollar a half gallon vodka its the amazing. I'd pick it over some high enders any day.

Dan Akroyd apparently also has licensing rights to the Patron family of liquors in Canada.

Talk about making a killing...
