A clean and environmentally responsible Vodka from Iceland is the definition of glacial soft.

Founded in 2005 by William Grant & Sons, Reyka Distillery is located in a costal Icelandic village called Borgarnes on a narrow peninsula about thirty miles north of the capital of Reykjavik. The town is so small that their master distiller Prur Sigursson also serves as the police chief and the fire chief. The facility is 100% powered by environmentally-friendly geothermal power and utilizes natural glacial run-off water. Thus they call their Spirit the worlds first green Vodka. Notably, they use a copper Carter-head still, which makes us suspect that a Gin is in the works for the future.

Reyka Vodka is distilled from a mash of wheat and barley. And as they famously claim, the water is pure glacial water that runs through a 4,000 year-old lava field and the final Spirit is filtered through volcanic rock, adding to its purity. They make the Vodka insmall batches of two hundred and fifty-five cases which is just a drop in the bucket for a large production facility.

Smartass Corner:
Reyka is derived from Icelands capital city Reykjavik which in turn comes from the old Norse words reykr meaning smoke / smoky / steam and vik meaning bay. Since the distillery is power by geothermal steam, this seems a fitting name.
