Crystal Head Aurora Vodka (750Ml)

Crystal Head Aurora is a premium vodka from Newfoundland, Canada. It comes from the duo behind the famous skull bottle, actor Dan Aykroyd and artist John Alexander. Aurora keeps that skull shape but adds an iridescent, metallic finish. The shimmer pays tribute to the northern lights.

This edition is made from English wheat. The spirit is distilled five times and blended with pure Newfoundland water. It is then filtered seven times, three of them through layers of Herkimer diamonds. Nothing is added afterward, so the vodka stays clean and additive-free.

Expect a crisp nose of soft florals with a light trace of anise. On the palate it turns warm, with bold peppercorn and just a little sweetness. The finish is dry, clean and warming.

Aurora has a strong record with judges. It won Gold at the International Spirits Challenge in 2017. It also took Gold at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition in 2016 and 2020. The 2020 Ultimate Spirits Challenge added one more Gold.

Serve it ice cold and neat to enjoy its peppery side. It also makes a crisp Martini or a simple vodka soda. Pair it with smoked salmon, oysters or spicy Mexican dishes. The bottle looks striking on a shelf, so it makes a memorable gift for collectors.
