30 reviews of Skyy
I got my first bottle of Skyy a couple of days ago and I just love it! Like it a lot more than Smirnoff and Absolut though of course nothing can beat Cristal.

Skyy is a decent vodka but in my opinion does not take well to being served at room temperature. I don't care for Skyy straight but it mixes well, especially for martinis. I rate this vodka as somewhere between Blavod, Chopin and Belvedere on the high end and Smirnoff on the low end.

Actually a 3.5 (I rounded hah!)
This is a very decent vodka, much better for mixed than pure though.
Cheers

this one of the greatest tasting vodka's ever, it's cheap compared to other great vodkas, so it's worth it

For a medium priced Vodka, this is quite good. Very smooth and waterlike (just like a Vodka should be). It's a shame to go into a bar and watch someone order Absolut when there's a bottle of Skyy sitting right next to it. Skyy is sometimes advertised as "the no hangover vodka". Well, yes, this is true, but is also true for just about ANY premium vodka, as they are distilled more times to remove the impurities. It should be advertised as the "lower priced no hangover vodka".

I Think SKYY Vodka is one of the best vodka's available in the market, price per value, quality in mind! I had a russian wedding, with a bottle represented on each table, and will state, everyone enjoyed the vodka immensely! Served Frozen only! and what a package! Frosted Blue Bottles. Intense! And little or no hangovers the next day. Nazdoroviya!

I enjoy this American made Vodka from San Francisco- Hanger one is from Oakland- these Californians are doing great things with Vodka. Skyy goes down smooth, and is very neutral. I enjoy it in a tradtional martini, or a Skyy 'blue martini' very well priced also.

Skyy is a solid vodka for the price. It is markedly worse than a few of the top vodkas, but for the dollar is good.
Reviewer: Sean | Score: 3
smooth vodka for average price independent lab tests show that it has the least impurities making it a nice drink for shots or mixing.
Reviewer: StonedWookie | Score: 5
for the price this is a very good vodka its smooth and doesn't have a harsh after taste. I know there are better vodkas out there but for the price it is very good.

If you're getting a midrange vodka, get Skyy. It is definitely not a premium (although it's better than some $30 bottles), but it's the best in its pricerange.
Reviewer: Josh | Score: 4
one of the better "big vodka" brands of the u.s. smoother and a bit lighter than smirnoff red label, but hardly worth the extra cash. although a very good mixer.

Greasy, harsh taste. Sort of like kerosine. Hottible in a Vodka Martini and worse by itself. My car runs well on it however!

Is this the "Vodka Man's Vodka?" Since that doesn't make a whole lot of sense, I'll say no. However, SKYY has a sense of vigor, a polish that belies its price point, and a bottle that will roxor your boxors with its marvelous hue. Screwdrivers tend to have a bit more bite with SKYY than with Stoli, but still palatable. From a college student's perseptive, the veritable lack of hangover the next day truly makes it worth it. Actually, I prefer Svedka's taste just a bit, but the vicious kick in the face it gives you the next morning isn't worth it. I've never had anyone complain about a drink I made for them with SKYY.

I'm giving Skyy a five for a few major reasons:
1. It is one of the cleanest/purist
vodkas on the market due to a
special filtration process.
2. It has a crisp neutral taste, mixes
very well and isn't bad straight.
3. You can consume an unhealthy amount
of it and wake up feeling fine the
next morning!!!
4. Last but not least, it's pretty dang
cheap:)

May I please say that in my opinion there is no such thing as a vodka martini. A martini is gin, vermouth and an olive, period! Anything else is another drink so come up with another name please.
Now, as to Skyy. It's ok but I prefer Three Olives or for the same money, Svedka.

Nice middle range vodka. Not spectular, but beeter than many. Able to drink straight or can stand up as a mix. A good solid buy.

Very neutral. Nice for mixed.

Lack of burn, to me, is the best quality of this vodka. It isn't exceptionally smooth; as it has distinct character. This isn't my first choice for a sipping vodka, but I was impressed nonetheless. Beats Smirnoff and Absolut easily.
Reviewer: Michael | Score: 3
It seems 95% of vodka advertisements are of Smirnoff, Skyy, and Absolut. Skyy is easily smoother than Smirnoff, and tastes better than Absolut! The formula for Skyy vodka came from a chemist after inventing a new distillation technique that removes unwanted by-products that cause hangover and bad taste.

One of two I give 5 stars. Great bottle, great price, great taste. Smooth as can be. Hands down the best American vodka I've had. Respected but still underrated. My second favorite after stoli.

Not impressed at all with all the hype. Tastes like rubbing alcohol smells. Toxic at best, time to move on!
Reviewer: Ray Abraham | Score: 1
good vodka, not the best out there but there is way worse than sky out there, and it is resonably priced so I gave it 4 stars in sted of three

As far as budget vodkas go, this is the standard in my opinion. Again, comparing this to other budget vodkas, it is relatively smooth, but when mixed, lets you know there is vodka in the drink. Not really a bad thing in my opinion. I wouldn't prefer to drink this straight as I would a premium vodka. It's a little harsh on its own. No more so than other vodkas of this level, though. Much more mellow than Smirnoff or Absolut, in fact. It stands out as a good choice when you have a limited selection, and a limited budget, as you can find this just about anywhere.

Overpriced for what you get. Definite rubbing alcohol smell, and leaves a very bitter aftertaste. Okay, but only for mixing.
Reviewer: Hillary | Score: 2
Cheap vodka with a very strong nose (smells like rubbing alcohol). Not made as a pure vodka, instead they purchase the ethanol elsewhere and add water. Fairly clean for a mixer, but not my cup of tea. I for one will never drink it again.
Reviewer: Mike | Score: 2
nice bottle, but a harsh smell and not a well refined taste, thin, bitter, almost metalic. compared to russian standard or stoli gold, which fall in similar price ranges this is not a winner... better than ab pure, but a premium over it. this would be a mixer, that's it... i prefer on the rocks or straight, room temp, this failed to pass the test of that. i dare not drink this to excess to validate the "hangover" factor, as i find if you drink in excess, you're not really enjoying what you drink. average at best. 3 stars... that's generous.

Semi sharp nose with a hint of charcoal, lemon grass, light wheat and a touch of grape in the body, short, clean finish. As far as American grain vodkas go, it's not too rough to enjoy neat, and not too filtered to miss the palate all together.
