Skyy

Skyy is an American vodka spirit produced by the Campari America division of Campari Group of Milan, Italy, formerly Skyy Spirits LLC. Skyy vodka is 40% ABV or 80 proof, except in Australia and New Zealand where it is 37.5% ABV / 75 Proof and in South Africa where it is 43% ABV / 86 Proof. Its creator, Maurice Kanbar, claims the vodka is nearly congener-free due to its distillation process. That is why the popular company slogan is "Vodka so filtered - we even took the Russia out of it". The bottle is a cobalt blue with a clear, adhesive label. In 2008, SKYY expanded the SKYY Vodka line with seventeen new flavors, referred to as Skyy Infusions. These Skyy Infusions are made with fruit.
