About Reyka Vodka
Reyka is the famous Icelandic vodka made from the purest Arctic water and premium grains. This unique, strong spirit is produced through multiple distillations using volcanic lava. With its viscous, oily texture, this vodka is considered the most environmentally friendly in the world and is a culinary highlight of Iceland.
Although it is not vanilla vodka, Reyka's flavor profile may have subtle hints of vanilla or a mild sweetness, especially in the aroma or aftertaste. These nuances do not mean that flavorings have been added. They arise naturally from the distillation process, pure water, and grain base.
Tasting Notes & Aroma Profile
The raw materials for this spirit are wheat and barley, specially imported from Scotland. Distillation takes place in a special still called a Carter-Head Still - remarkably, there are only six of these in the world. One section of the still is made of copper, and a special tank is filled with solidified lava rocks. The spirit, passing through this natural material, is infused with minerals. The distillation process lasts at least six hours.
The result of multiple distillations is a 93% ABV spirit, which is diluted with natural Arctic water to 40%. Only 255 bottles of vodka are produced per production run. This is very small for the alcohol industry, which is why top-quality Reyka vodka is quite expensive.
This beverage is distinguished by its crystal clarity and oily consistency. If you shake the bottle gently, you'll see viscous drops trickling down the sides of the glass. The drink is clear, 40% ABV, and has a grainy aroma with hints of spice. The taste is smooth and pleasant. Reika contains no added flavors or additives, but its aftertaste reveals subtle vanilla and citrus nuances.
How to Drink Reyka
The best vodka is recommended to be enjoyed neat or in cocktails. Serve in shot glasses, chilled to 5-8 degrees Celsius. Before drinking, Reyka vodka can be diluted with mountain spring water to 30% alcohol. Drink in one gulp. Meat and fish dishes are ideal as appetizers. Cheese, fruits, and vegetables are also great with vodka.
