Crystal Head Vodka is a brand of vodka manufactured by Globefill Inc. in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. It was conceived of and founded by actor Dan Aykroyd and artist John Alexander in 2007. The vodka is quadruple-distilled and seven times filtered, with the final 3 filtrations through Herkimer diamond crystals.〔(Crystal Head Vodka )〕 The Crystal Skull bottle was designed by artist John Alexander〔(Drinksdaily.com )〕 and is manufactured by Milan-based glass-manufacturer Bruni Glass.〔(Bruniglass.com )〕〔(Drinksdaily.com )〕 Crystal Head has won numerous awards, including a Gold Medal for Excellent Taste at the 2013 Moscow ProdExpo Internation Tasting Contest, and a Double Gold Medal from the San Francisco World Spirits Competition. ==History== Aykroyd and Alexander conceived of the idea for Crystal Head Vodka in 2007. Due to the lack of additive free vodka in market, Aykroyd decided to make one himself. Alexander designed the bottle based on the pair’s shared fascination with the legend of the thirteen Crystal Skulls. It took two years to execute the manufacture of the bottle, made by Milan-based glass manufacturer Bruni Glass. Crystal Head launched in Southern California in 2008 and launched in four other states shortly after. It was sold in the rest of the United States in 2009 before becoming available worldwide. In 2010, the Liquor Control Board of Ontario refused to carry Crystal Head Vodka in its stores saying that people might find the bottle offensive. They later reversed their decision after a change was made to the box design. In May 2011, 21,000 bottles of the vodka were stolen from a warehouse in Southern California. Aykroyd joked that he was "happy that some consumers will be afforded the opportunity of tasting it at significantly lower than retail price". In 2013, Aykroyd was spending over 90 days a year on the road promoting the vodka through signings and appearances. The brand was the official vodka of the Rolling Stones 50th Anniversary Tour in 2013. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Crystal Head Vodka」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
