Thirsty Thursdays: Reyka Vodka ~ Crafted From Nature


Iceland is an island of incredible natural wonders - a land with fiery volcanoes, majestic glaciers, and natural springs. Reyka is made from water sourced from Grabrok Spring. Here water runs through a 4,000-year-old lava field making it some of the purest water in the world.

It is this purity that allows the flavour of Reyka to come from the vodka itself, without any additional flavoring. To bring all the natural elements together, Reyka is distilled in a Carter-Head Still (one of only six in the whole world). The high level of copper inside gives Reyka an unparalleled 'purity of spirit' in only one distillation.

Each distillation takes about 6 hours and yields 255 small cases. Working in small batches means Reyka can make sure each bottle is the highest quality. That is why it is also called 'hand-crafted.'

To the nose, Reyka is soft and gentle with a delicate aroma of vanilla. To the palate, it yields a crisp and clean taste that becomes fuller-bodied and velvety on the tongue. The finish is long and lingering with notes of fresh citrus and luscious spice followed by subtle hints of native moss and salinity which comes from its coastal climate.

We could sing the praises of Reyka Vodka all day. However, it is best to try it for yourself. Straight or mixed in a perfectly crafted cocktail, it does not disappoint.

Reyka Vodka is so naturally made that it puts the terms organic and gluten-free to shame.
