I was always very fond of Skyy vodka, not for its smoothness or character (both quite excellent), but the incredibly beautiful blue bottle that it comes in. Its a similar size and shape to others, but the cobalt blue bottle, and Gold embossed lettering has always stood out in my mind as classy.

I collect a lot of drinking glass (the bottles and shot glasses), and Skyy Vodka has always been my favorite bottle of any of the hard liquor in the store (save some very original wine bottles), that I have seen so far. Grey Goose, skyy's aforementioned expensive cousin, also has a nice partially frosted artistically done bottle, making either a must to have in any liquor chest, should friends drop by.

Skyy vodka boasts being triple filtered and quadruple distilled with the hope of removing any of the alcohol's impurities that may lead to the next day's headache. Launched in 1992 by Skyy Spirits, LLC of San Francisco, it remains a well loved alcohol by vodka drinkers, and social drinkers alike.
