Whats the difference between Absolut and skyy vodka?

My face breaks out in a rash when I drink absolut, but not skyy. Why is that?|||Both vodkas are distilled from grains and filtered multiple times. There should be no difference in reaction from one to the other as they are both highly refined ethanols.





Of the two Absolut has a better production process, more craft and quality. They do leave a little trace element of the original ingredients for subtle flavor and bouquet, but if you are that allergic to wheat, then skyy should cause you to break out too, and a piece of bread would have killed you long ago.





The Skyy process is down and dirty industrially produced bathtub slop that they distill the hell out of until they can call it vodka. They actually start out using byproducts from fuel refineries brought in on train tankers. It is terribly overpriced once you know how little craft is incorporated in the process of making it. But the blue plastic on the bottle is pretty, so it's not a total wash.





Be sure to remember what foods you had the next time you have a reaction. This is more likely the source of your reaction. Also remember the rate that you consumed the alcohol- you may find that you break out in a rash when you exceed your body's ability to assimilate the alcohol, and not from what type of alcohol you drink. I am assuming that neither of the vodkas were flavored. If they were, then the flavor adulterant is probably the culprit.





Good luck and above all keep drinking, doctor's orders.|||Sounds like you are allergic. --Pehaps it has to do with the filtration process.





I know Skyy is filtered with ethanol, while Absolut is filtered with charcoal.





Just a thought.
