Maurice Kanbar, a San Francisco entrepreneur, suffered when he drank alcohol and attributed this to congeners (impurities) in spirits. Thus began his quest to create the purest vodka possible - he launched Skyy, which in 1991 he once claimed had the "fewest impurities" of any vodka (at 0.8mg/l).

Skyy is made from wheat using four-column distillation and filtered through calcium carbonate, cellulose plates and granular carbon.
