Reyka Vodka Review- 05.25.07
I think i’m sold on going green… especially when it comes to my vodka - Reyka Vodka is the world’s first green vodka- made from glacial water and distilled using sustainable and clean energy from geothermal heat, not to mention it’s the first vodka distilled and bottled in Iceland (land of puffins, volcanoes and a female president)… (showed you their brilliant ads and the bottle designs previously)… This time i’ve got a hands on review for you. Close ups of the gorgeous bottle, and a few fun little videos (still experimenting with my Canon TX1). I’m smitten by how deliciously clean and smooth this vodka is and it’s great straight as well as mixed (was delicious with orange and cranberry juice as well as with tonic)…
Here are some interesting tidbits on why else Reyka is incredible: Reyka (pronounced Ray kuh) is derived from the ancient Icelandic word for steam or smoke. The spirit sources naturally demineralized glacial water from the Grabrok Spring situated in a 4,000 year-old lava field. Reykas distillery is located in the smallvillage of Borgarnes in Western Iceland where atmospheric CO2 levels are actually falling. This is due in part to the towns remote location far from sources of industrial pollution. It retails for little over $20, but certainly tastes like it would have cost more.
The opening and first glass…. CHEERS!
A quick spin to show off the bottle/label…
Quick clip of it rolling at me (testing out the Canon TX1!):
I am a vodka lover as long as I get to choose what is being poured. Reyka is new to me having tried it just 6 months ago. It has become one of my three favorites in the world of I what I have tasted. It’s hard to imagine wanting more from a vodka that delivers. This one does. I find myself going back to this choice more often lately so habits and repetition speak volumes. I love this stuff and am recommending it as high as I possibly can. Great back story adds charm to choice.
