Reyka Icelandic Vodka

Reyka Icelandic Vodka is a pioneering spirit that embodies the purity and wild beauty of its homeland. Crafted in small batches in Borgarnes, Iceland, Reyka is distilled from wheat and barley, blended with glacial spring water, and filtered through ancient lava rocks for a crisp, clean taste. Powered entirely by sustainable geothermal energy and distilled in a rare copper Carter-Head still, Reyka delivers exceptional smoothness with delicate hints of vanilla, citrus, and soft natural sweetness — a true expression of Iceland’s elemental spirit.

Craftsmanship & Story

Reyka is truly “made of Iceland.” Distilled in Borgarnes, a coastal village surrounded by lava fields and glaciers, it uses glacial spring water and is powered entirely by geothermal heat. Each small batch takes six hours to craft, yielding only 255 cases — ensuring quality and attention in every bottle. Distilled in a Carter-Head still, one of the rarest in the world, Reyka achieves unmatched smoothness and purity, while its lava rock filtration imparts a distinct crisp character.

Special Features

Reyka is the world’s first “green” vodka, distilled with 100% sustainable geothermal energy. Its combination of rare copper stills, lava rock filtration, and pristine Icelandic ingredients make it not only exceptional in taste but also an environmentally conscious choice.
