Icelandic Spirits

Reyka Vodka | Iceland | 1.0 Liter | 80 Proof

Iceland is not a place that does things halfway. The same volcanic island that produces some of the world's purest water, filters everything through ancient lava rock, and powers its industry entirely on geothermal energy also happens to make one of the most distinctive vodkas on the market. Reyka is Iceland's first and only distillery, built by William Grant & Sons in the small fishing village of Borgarnes on the country's rugged west coast.

What sets Reyka apart is the convergence of exceptional natural resources and rare distilling equipment. The water used is extraordinarily low in minerals — among the purest on earth. Filtration happens through lava rock rather than charcoal, imparting a subtle, clean minerality. And the still itself is a Carter-Head — a Scottish-made design so rare it's the only one in the world used to produce vodka. The result is a small-batch spirit of exceptional purity: smooth, slightly creamy, with a clean finish and just enough character to remind you it came from somewhere real.

Producer Description

Martin Miller's Gin is the product of an obsessive quest for perfection. Distilled in England using a blend of traditional and exotic botanicals — including juniper, coriander, angelica, cassia bark, cinnamon, nutmeg, and the rare Florentine iris — it is then transported to Iceland, where it is blended with some of the world's purest natural spring water. The result is an exceptionally smooth, clean gin with a fresh, crisp character unlike any other.

At 80 proof and 750ml, Martin Miller's is as elegant in a classic Martini as it is in a refreshing Gin & Tonic. A gin for those who believe the details matter.
