Reyka Small Batch

"Reyka" vodka is not just made in Iceland; it is literally woven from the breathtaking majestic landscapes of this yet-to-be-fully-discovered country. The word "reyka" translates from Old Norse as "steam rising from the earth", which is a common occurrence in an area with active volcanoes. Water is the most important component in the production of "Reyka" vodka. Arctic spring water, passing through a 4000-year-old layer of solidified volcanic lava, is among the purest in the world. Elite varieties of barley and wheat, mixed with this water, are distilled in a steam still called a Carter-Head Still, of which there are only six in the world. Its design, originally developed for gin production, includes a chamber filled with botanical components, through which the spirit is infused with their aroma. In the case of "Reyka" vodka, this chamber is filled with pieces of lava, which act like a sponge, filtering the distillate and softening it. "Reyka" vodka confirms its unique taste, having been awarded the title of "Best in the World" in 2011 by the "International Wine & Spirits Competition" and recognized as the most environmentally friendly. For five consecutive years at this competition, it has achieved prize-winning positions: silver in 2008, 2009, and 2012; gold in 2010 and 2011.
