Reyka Vodka is uniquely made not only in Iceland, but of Iceland. The vodka is crafted in a carter-head still, one of the few in use throughout the world today. The high copper levels from the carter-still give the vodka its unparalleled smoothness. Next, Icelandic lava rocks are used to filter the vodka, giving it a clean and crisp taste in each sip. Reyka is then distilled in small batches by Icelanders in the coastal village of Borgarnes. These small batches ensure exceptional quality, the Icelandic way.
