SKYY, known as Deep Blue Vodka or Blue Sky Vodka in China, was founded in 1992 and is an earlier local vodka brand in the United States. Currently in the United States, Deep Blue has the seventh largest market share and is one of the most popular vodkas among Americans. In 2017, Deep Blue ranked tenth in global sales, with a wide range of sales and a relatively high reputation in China.
Brewed from U.S.-grown wheat, Dark Blue Vodka is quadruple distilled and triple filtered to remove most of the impurities while also leaving the flavour extremely light, making Neutral Vodka suitable for cocktails.
Like most big brands, Deep Blue has followed consumer trends and launched a variety of flavored vodkas on the basis of a neutral vodka to cater to consumers' tastes. The original vodka is the best-selling item, with an alcohol content of 40%, it smells of white pepper and vanilla, the smell is weak, it tastes smooth and refreshing, and the overall taste is very light and there is no sweetness.
The Infushions, a range of 17 flavoured vodkas, are made with real fruit – the fruit is carefully soaked and juiced, and the freshly squeezed juice is extracted, blended with vodka and bottled. The representative item of flavored vodka is citrus flavored vodka, which is a mixture of lemon, orange, blood orange and lime flavors on the basis of the clean taste of the self-added liquor, presenting a juicy and sour taste, which is exceptionally refreshing. Such a bright vodka is perfect for food and beverages, especially when eating barbecue or heavy foods.
As a younger American local brand, the design of dark blue vodka is also very distinctive: cobalt blue straight cylindrical bottle, the whole is opaque, and the upper part of the bottle body has a white SKYY letter logo, which is very eye-catching, avant-garde and lively, full of modernity, so it is more popular with young people.
At present, you can easily buy dark blue vodka in China, and a 750ml bottle of neutral vodka is only 49 yuan online, which is affordable. It is a good choice for novices to test the waters at a low price.
