{"product_id":"crystal-head-vodka-gold","title":"Crystal Head Vodka Gold","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis luxury, additive-free vodka originates from Newfoundland, Canada, produced by Crystal Head Vodka—co-founded in 2008 by actor Dan Aykroyd and artist John Alexander.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Gold Edition (often associated with their pride celebrations or special metallic-finished releases) features the brand's iconic bespoke skull-shaped bottle crafted by Bruni Glass, finished in a striking metallic gold plating. The spirit within is distilled seven times from high-quality Canadian corn and blended with pristine water from St. John's, Newfoundland. True to the brand's signature process, the liquid undergoes seven filtration steps, three of which pass through semi-precious quartz crystals known as Herkimer diamonds. Bottled at 80 proof (40.0% ABV) with zero additives—no glycerol, citrus oils, or added sugar—it delivers a smooth, clean, and unadulterated neutral spirit profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpirit Description\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis vodka presents absolute crystal clarity with bright luminescence in the glass.

The Herkimer diamond filtration imparts a distinct, velvety mouthfeel and a pristine mineral texture.
