About Reyka Vodka:
Reyka’s distinctive flavour is attributed to five key elements; (i) the clean taste of Icelandic spring water, refined even further; (ii) the small batch Carter-Head Still; (iii) lava rock filtration, considered to be one of the most natural and effective filtration processes in the world; (iv) the geo-thermal energy (powered by steam from nearby hot springs) used during the production process to supply power without adding impurities and (v) the clean Icelandic air.
It has developed an exceptional taste reputation internationally; in 2011 Reyka was awarded the Vodka Trophy at the International Wine and Spirit Competition (IW.SC) and in 2013, the Gold Medal in the San Francisco World Spirits Competition and ‘Very good—Strong recommendation’ at the Ultimate Spirits Challenge.
Reyka Nose and Tasting Notes:
Nose: Fresh, rounded aniseed with creamy vanilla, light spiciness, and underlying savoury grain.
Taste: Soft, delicate texture that becomes fuller-bodied and lightly creamy, with elegant, rounded aniseed and vanilla, a sweet-dry balance, luscious light spiciness, and underlying savoury grain.
