Sat Aug 07 2010You get what you pay for. It's perfect for mixing but it's definitely not as smooth as the higher end vodkas. I would have given it a 2 but for the price I give it a 3.

Mon Mar 15 2010I really like it. I like the Citrus one more. But, This goes great with other drinks and it is a favorite to me.

Sat Mar 13 2010Tastes fine as a shot. Tastes great mixed. No bad taste or after taste at all. What surprised me is how little it took, mixed with OJ, to get drunk. I've been drinking Whiskey lately - good Whiskey that has great taste - but this has more of a quick and powerful punch if you want a good buzz.

Tue Sep 08 2009Mediocre at best. Nowhere near Pearl and Tito's in quality. Buy Wolfschmidt's and bank the difference.

Fri Jun 19 2009I 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.

Sat Mar 21 2009Excellent. 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.

Tue Aug 05 2008This 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.

Sun Jul 27 2008Moderately priced and pretty smooth. I use it for shots.

Tue May 06 2008Skyy 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.

Mon Feb 11 2008Very very Good, nice bottle.

Fri Jan 11 2008There 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.

Thu May 17 2007Sky is ok but a little harsh. I prefer smoother vodkas. But it is one of the better ones in its price range.

Fri Mar 16 2007I 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.

Thu Jan 25 2007I'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.

Tue Sep 26 2006I 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.

Fri Aug 11 2006This 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.

Tue May 02 2006not bad for an American vodka- relatively smooth- but not refined. very neutral-price is ok. The citrus and berry flavors are better.
by ourayyankeeboy
Fri Apr 14 2006Independent 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.
by colonel_kyser
Mon Apr 03 2006Certainly, 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.
by mcdono
Tue Mar 14 2006Skyy 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.
by daonionman
Mon Jul 11 2005Probably a bit over-rated, but none the less its pretty good stuff by itself at a cheap price.
by dragonman
Sun Jun 12 2005Pretty harsh stuff with a weird aftertaste, absolut is smoother with no aftertaste.
by usufruct
Sat Mar 12 2005Better than Absolut. Makes a decent martini, makes a decent shot, and mixes very will with any juice. Tasted this next to Absolut and Smirnoff.
by jj92123
Sat Feb 26 2005If 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.

Sat Jan 15 2005Average at best.

Sat Nov 20 2004Easy on the throat. Tastes good with Oceanspray Cranberry Juice...on crushed rocks!
by celticprince
Thu Nov 04 2004great value for the money-smooth and neutral- makes a decent martini- also try the melon and citrus flavors- good as well....

Wed Nov 20 2002Yum! I could drink Skyy Blue like candy!
by monkezuncle
Wed Nov 20 2002The 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.

Thu Aug 16 2001I 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.

Sat May 12 2001hard but then it is made from corn. stick with wheat
by drewski2
Sat Mar 10 2001Excellant 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.
by pedroc6c
Mon Jan 15 2001Skyy 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.
by cedrickman
Wed Jan 10 2001Taste is the big factor here. Mixes well with mixers.
by chocolate2
Tue Jan 09 2001This is very nasty. I don't recommend it at all.
by kliu8d92
Tue Nov 07 2000Skyy vodka is an alright drink. I have tasted better but it is alright. At least it gets me drunk when I drink it.
by tallriyah5
Tue Nov 07 2000Tastes as nasty as Absolut. Just as strong. It's really hard for it to run down.
by drdre4f9
Tue Nov 07 2000I think this has a very nasty taste. It is hard to down it and it does not taste that good when mixing.
by clien387
Mon Nov 06 2000For 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.
by bferdinand
Mon Nov 06 2000This 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.

Mon Nov 06 2000This 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.
