Reyka Vodka, 70cl – From Iceland’s Glaciers to Your Glass

Starting from last Christmas I went on a bit of a premium vodka binge which I attribute to watching too much Mad Men and certainly having more money than sense for a period. I had bottles of Crystal Skull, Chase Marmalade, Wyborowa Exquisite and Reyka. They all come with their individual bells, whistles and gimmicks. Fancy bottles, award winning credentials, unusual flavors, the reputation of the distillers. I tried and liked them all but unfortunately I spent a lot of money looking because for whatever reason I tried Reyka last.I stopped looking for other vodka's after my first bottle of Reyka.If sipping vodka neat or on the rocks is what you're after then you can pay a lot more than you will for this but you certainly won't find a better vodka. It is remarkably smooth, no burn to it at all but it does give a wonderful warmth as it goes down. It tastes crisp and unlike almost any Vodka I've tasted.The other bottles may have cost more and been in fancier bottles (not that the classic, simple design of Reyka's bottle doesn't have its appeal) but this was by far the superior taste, drink and product. That isn't to decry the other three brands I tried but rather an endorsement of how good Reyka is that it can top that sort of competition. £26 delivered is a bargain for drink this good. You won't find it cheaper anywhere else on the net, its a godsend that Amazon themselves stock it (usually, I've seen it go to "3-4 weeks" before now, possibly because Reyka don't actually release that much of it, that depends on how much you believe a "small batch" vodka means). It's a decent conversation piece, it's not a vodka most people will have seen or heard of before, a step above the boutique stuff and a step below the big names (Goose, Belvedere, Crystal Skull) in terms of brand recognition.Now I plan to always have a bottle on hand for those nights when you want to sit back and take your time with a drink and really enjoy it.

Amazing Vodka

Very smooth, best choice for the price to drink straight. Great product

The media could not be loaded. I bought this one night and in the morning when I was no longer thirsty I cancelled it, but the cancellation didn't go through and I was charged for it and it was delivered. So I started the returns procedure explaining what I did. However, this product doesn't have a returns procedure. They have a refund procedure. So I got to keep it and got the money refunded. Which of course was amazing and what is even more amazing was when I opened the corked bottle and tasted what was inside it, It is indeed a very special vodka. And it is now going to be a regular fixture in my empty liquor cabinet. Because I found it just as good as the Russian standard premium one with all Russian writing. I always like to have a premium vodka and the two that I have found to be the best are the Russian standard edition which is the expensive one with all Russian writing, (I can't remember off the top of my head what it's specifically called) but it's very good and the Beluga export both of which cost around about £40. This stuff is half the price, although it might have been on special and had the same peppery flavour that you get from the Beluga and was a match for it in quality. I love it. This will be the vodka I buy from now on, not just because of the price. But if you ever look into the company that makes it, you can't help but like them. The promotional video is hilarious and I'm a big fan of the Nordic people in general and I love the dry sense of humour of the Icelandic folk, and I love the way that they use their local environment to produce such a high-grade vodka Which I'd previously never heard of. Buy it.

Very smooth drink

My favourite mid price vodka. Great clean taste.

Excellent tasting vodka. Bought a few times. Good price. Clean and crisp taste.

I bought this as a gift they love gin and they said this was the best theyve ever had
