Review: Skyy Vodka
Skyy Vodka was introduced in 1992 and while they may be best known for their Cobalt Blue bottle, they are responsible for popularizing the term congener-free. Maurice Kanbar claimed he developed a new distilling method that removed most of the congeners. Congeners are a natural by-product of alcohol production blamed for bitter taste and hangovers.

It is then delivered by railcar to San Jose California where it is mixed with water further filtered through reverse osmosis before bottling at 80 proof. Read more
