Crystal Head Onyx Review
A curious concoction, this vodka is distilled from Blue Weber agave. The spirit seems to have one foot each in both vodka and tequila worlds — there are vegetal grassy aromas, but the palate is lithe and clean. Rather than screaming pour me in a Margarita, this vodka demands Dirty Martinis with a big, fat Castelvetrano olive garnish.
