Mediocre at best. Nowhere near Pearl and Tito's in quality. Buy Wolfschmidt's and bank the difference.

I have to admit I was a sucker for the cobalt blue bottle and the classy "Old Hollywood" advertisements that first made Skyy known to me. Thankfully, it is not just all in the advertising. It is actually a good, smooth vodka. I rank it along with Absolut and other 4-stars in my opinion.

Excellent. Great taste mixed and goes down smooth as a shot. Decent price and much better than the so called top shelf which are double the price in some places. You can't go wrong with it. I've made believers out of all my friends.
gooseguy 01/16/2009
a drink for the drunk only lol
Strijdom 09/10/2008
Great vodka. Nice smooth taste, and no hangovers at all. At $19.99 at Costco, this stuff rocks!
halcyonstorm 08/05/2008
This is a good vodka, not quite as smooth as some others I've tasted, but is far better than many not to mention the decent price tag. You will often find a bottle of this in my liquor cabinet.
Essexxx 07/27/2008
Moderately priced and pretty smooth. I use it for shots.
Sedagive 05/06/2008
Skyy vodka comes in a pretty blue bottle and is an excellent treatment for insect bites or foot odor (you can soak your socks in it), but I don't recommend that you drink it.
Mr.Tuner 02/22/2008
its ok i dont like the after taste though.
JuanM 02/11/2008
Very very Good, nice bottle.

There will always be a place in my heart for the cobalt blue. Have drank more Skyy than any other vodka. You can not beat this vodka for its mid range pricetag. Don't be fooled by all the flavored varieties that have been introduced the last few years, stick with the original "vodka vodka." Many claim it is hangover free, I would not go that far but this is definitely a good, fun drunk. Try it on the rocks with a splash of 7. This is about all I drank in college in the mid 90's but I have since taken up whiskey.
trebon1038 05/17/2007
Sky is ok but a little harsh. I prefer smoother vodkas. But it is one of the better ones in its price range.
VampireKitten1 9 03/16/2007
I love Sky I was drinking the cheap Smironoff Vodka none flavoried for 2 years then I tried the sky 100% better then the cheap stuff I will never go back to that.
rschonfeld 01/25/2007
I've been drinking vodka (straight on the rocks) for 30 years. Most vodkas are fine (or better than fine). This stuff is junk...like Koolaid for drunks.
NOLApro 09/26/2006
I agree, I also think its better than Absolut. Skyy is my favorite vodka, especially for the price. i think this company was smart by pricing it right in between Smirnoff and the super premiums. It falls in that "well, if I spend only 3 more dollars I can have Skyy" category. As you can tell, this happens to me quite often.
MrRambo 08/11/2006
This is a wonderful mixer. I personally can't stand to take shots of any type of vodka, its not really suppose to be the most smooth liquor. I mean c'mon, Russians? There is'nt anything smooth about Russia, including the liquor. Skyy is an amazing mixer, plus the price is wonderful for the product. Plus, according to research, it is the most pure vodka on the market.
lion in winter 05/02/2006
not bad for an American vodka- relatively smooth- but not refined. very neutral-price is ok. The citrus and berry flavors are better.
OurayYankeeBoy 04/14/2006
Independent lab testing concluded that SKYY vodka had the lowest amount of impurities in the world. The ENTIRE WORLD. That ranks it more pure than Smirnoff, Absolut, Chiroc, Grey Goose, all of the expensive ones that overcharge you. Just because It's expensive doesn't make it the best. If SKYY priced it's vodka at $52.00 a bottle people would praise it like crazy. Plus...for all of you who are saying it's too strong out of a shotglass, What do you expect from an 80 proof liquor?? It's not going to slide down like water.
Colonel Kyser 04/03/2006
Certainly, the best American vodka. Not as smooth as Stoli or Ketel 1, has a hint of bitter taste, still and all it rates a 4.5 with me.
McDono 03/14/2006
Skyy Vodka is my favorite Vodka for the price. It's one of the only ones whose flavor stands out to me, aside from the cheapie vodkas which taste harsh to me. I love the flavor and after tatse. Has almost a kind of buttery taste. I don't like vodka as shots, but this is a great mixer as it keeps it's flavor and combines great with juices.
daonionman 07/11/2005
Probably a bit over-rated, but none the less its pretty good stuff by itself at a cheap price.
dragonman 06/12/2005
Pretty harsh stuff with a weird aftertaste, absolut is smoother with no aftertaste.
usufruct 03/12/2005
Better than Absolut. Makes a decent martini, makes a decent shot, and mixes very will with any juice. Tasted this next to Absolut and Smirnoff.
jj92123 02/26/2005
If this vodka cost twice as much it would be the top rated in the group. Consumers are funny animals. Once again, America does it best.
Theodore J. Stalla 01/15/2005
Average at best.
middlefinger 11/20/2004
Easy on the throat. Tastes good with Oceanspray Cranberry Juice...on crushed rocks!
celticprince 11/04/2004
great value for the money-smooth and neutral- makes a decent martini- also try the melon and citrus flavors- good as well....
Daisymaven 08/11/2004
When I don't want to spend enough to buy Grey Goose, this is what I buy.
hays 01/07/2004
yummy yum yum
beershrine 05/12/2003
Yuck, rubbing alcohol...
monkezuncle 11/20/2002
The ONLY way you can drink this is to mix it. Shots of this are nauseating (literally). Cheap and reminds me of lighter fluid. Spend the money to buy something better, spare your throat.
The_Decockster 11/20/2002
Yum! I could drink Skyy Blue like candy!
DukeCrazie04 08/16/2001
I think some of you who are answering that this vodka is too strong have got to stop raiding their parents' liquor cabinets and concentrate on studying for that big leap from middle school into high school. This stuff is smoothe and pure and oh so nice. I rank it right up there with grey goose for mixing purposes. A real treat and a great mixer or shooter. Maxim mag recently rated it one of the top 5 purest vodkas on the market.
Jw444 05/12/2001
hard but then it is made from corn. stick with wheat
drewski2 03/10/2001
Excellant vodka, better than Absolut (rated better by the pros and cheaper too!). Shots are very smooth, if you don't like a strong shot, don't drink vodka.
pedro 01/15/2001
Skyy Vodka has a great bottled appearance and very good marketing. But the vodka itself doesn't live up to its image. It makes for an average mixed drink and a cheap shot, but it's just not as smooth as it appears it would be.
cedrickman 01/10/2001
Taste is the big factor here. Mixes well with mixers.
Chocolate2 01/09/2001
This is very nasty. I don't recommend it at all.
tallriyah5 11/07/2000
Tastes as nasty as Absolut. Just as strong. It's really hard for it to run down.
kliu 11/07/2000
Skyy vodka is an alright drink. I have tasted better but it is alright. At least it gets me drunk when I drink it.
drdre 11/07/2000
I think this has a very nasty taste. It is hard to down it and it does not taste that good when mixing.
clien 11/06/2000
For some reason it tastes nasty. Does not go down smooth. Had a little before, and ended up throwing it away. For vodka, it is cheap.
bferdinand 11/06/2000
This vodka is great because for the price, it is very tasty as a shooter or for a mixer. The Skyy vodka is especially good when mixed with cranberry juice because it allows me to disguise the Skyy vodka flavor into a flavorful beverage. I personally recommend this drink, but beware because you may not taste the vodka and its effects may creep up on you.
jang 11/06/2000
This is some hard stuff. You can feel it go all the way down as you feel that gush of alcohol go through your nose. I like this stuff, but sometimes it just hits me too hard. Most of my friends with high alcohol tolerance can't take too many shots of this. Perhaps two or three is enough.
bigdaddy 11/03/2000
It goes down with ease and is good blended as well. Is somewhat strong, and isn't a good choice for people who can't appreciate a good alcoholic beverage. The only downfall is that it's somewhat expensive.
kevin 11/02/2000
It goes down really smooth. Better than Absolut but not as good as Grey Goose. Also, one of the best tasting Vodkas. Could drink this almost any night.
badhole 11/02/2000
Damn good stuff. Always gives you a clean buzz without all the nasty gas breath. One of the best vodkas out there. Too expensive though.
frogg 11/02/2000
Better than any vodka out in the market because of its flavor and effects. Also the bottles are real cool.
joe1 11/02/2000
Sky vodka is pretty good. I would say it's one of the smoothest ones out there. It's 80 proof I think, but it's pretty strong.
