Crystal Head Onyx Agave Vodka 70cl

This one’s for people who want their vodka to have a point of view. Crystal Head Onyx takes the clean, crisp vodka idea and gives it a gentle agave twist, made with Blue Weber agave from Mexico. The result is still vodka, still mixable, but with extra depth that shows up in your glass, especially in cocktails where the spirit can’t hide.

If you’ve ever built a drink and thought, “Cool, but it could use more personality,” Onyx is the solve. You get that familiar vodka clarity, but it carries a lightly earthy, roasted-agave character that plays insanely well with citrus, ginger, and bitter mixers. It’s not loud. It’s just more interesting.

• Nose: Clean and bright, with hints of citrus peel, black pepper, and a faint earthy agave note.
• Taste: Crisp entry, then roasted agave, light herb, and a touch of minerality, with a dry, tidy mouthfeel.
• Finish: Peppery and gently warming, with a lingering citrus-zest and subtle agave earthiness.

What makes it worth your shelf space is how it changes the “default vodka” role. In a Vodka Soda it brings a little extra snap. In a Mule it makes the ginger pop. In a Bloody Mary it leans into savoury spice like it belongs there. And in a Martini-style build, it stays clean while adding a quiet, grown-up depth.

It’s also a great bottle for the friend who says they’re “not a vodka person.” You’re not asking them to love neutrality, you’re handing them something with flavour cues they already recognize, pepper, citrus, earthy warmth, without turning it into a whole different category.

One more thing we love, it’s a conversation-starter without being a gimmick. The Onyx name isn’t random, it’s a darker, moodier take in the Crystal Head lineup, built around that agave base and a more savoury, mineral-leaning profile. If you like spirits that feel crisp but not boring, this is a very smart detour.

Fun Fact: Crystal Head was co-founded by actor Dan Aykroyd, who’s famously obsessed with the supernatural, hence the instantly recognizable skull bottle.
