Enquire about availabilityTasting notes
Reyka small batch vodka, first vodka distilled and bottled in Iceland (launched in 2005). Made from Arctic spring water (naturally filtered through lava rock) and locally sourced wheat and barley. Produced in a rare copper Carter-Head still (only a few exist worldwide), allowing for very small-batch production. The distillery is powered by geothermal energy, making production environmentally friendly. Often described as exceptionally clean, smooth, with subtle hints of citrus and a light mineral finish. It’s popular in cocktails (especially martinis, gimlets, or Moscow mules) but also smooth enough to sip neat.
