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!):
Excellent review. I almost picked up a bottle of Reyka earlier today while buying some wine. I’ve been intrigued by it ever since your initial post on the ads. I think now that I have read your review I will definitely get a bottle. It seems the geyser batch is the one selling everywhere right now, as it is the same label on the ones selling up here in Canada.
